NYTimes.com/bits writes of a new study by Consumer Reports that indicates about one-fourth of Facebook users in the USA lied about themselves to protect their privacy. With a total USA audience of 157 million that means that approximately 40 million of "us" are "fudging" our resumes. Does this fiction include gender, age, sheepskin, hobbies, occupation or whatever? Personally, I think there is too much personal information and dialogue on the "f" screen but maybe I shouldn't worry since 25% is false - but privacy? fuggeddiboutit! In the same edition it was reported that several Tech Execs were called out for "inaccuracies" in their curriculum vitae. Does this all mean that the people I have friended are not really my friends after all? Heartbreak!
