Facebook status update, tweets and blogs: With our generation living online, is there anything we don’t tell about ourselves? For that matter, is there anything you can’t learn about perfect strangers from their online posts? If people are so willing to share, is it bad to take a peek? Long gone are the conversational days when you could ask people where they are from, their major, or who they are dating.
