Facebook Divorce

While looking up topics for the up and coming research paper, i happen to stumble upon this. Though there are numerous phenomenons such as this happening all over the cyber world, what got me were the lady's statements near the end of the short article, particularly with her narrating what she is doing on facebook as well as her saying she can't do anything without her ex-husband knowing about it. It does feel that no matter what we do on facebook (for the facebook users that know what i'm talking about), it feels as if everything you do can be tracked and seen by all your friends on facebook. Of course the positive aspect of this is so your friends know what you are doing and can be current with your day to day activites. But do they really have to know so much as to know our every move by the second? This ambient awareness is kind of a scary thing...at least to me.
