Sharing is Caring
As Interviewee 4 put it: “sharing defines social life, even if it’s virtual”. This is similar to the tacit premise I mentioned previously: you are what you share. Sharing is a platform dependent aspect. There are different views from the participants about what and how to share, some of them just do it publicly and others like to do it as private messages only, going as far as disabling the wall functionality on Facebook. I think information sharing is a good thing and it is important, but it is vital to know which things we share are going to be welcomed by our friends and which kind of information can upset or even offend them. It is part of a netiquette, where you assess the value and consequences of what you want to do before you do it. The problem with this will always be that the usefulness and quality of the information we share is very subjective. Even so, it is important to think about the target we intend to reach, if it would be useful for them. In this sense, there is room for sharing different types of information because sharing is a platform dependent aspect.
