Weekly Poll: Do you Share More Online Than You Used to?
As many social networks as there are today, you’d think people must be sharing more info online than ever. We’re putting pictures on Instagram, sharing location on Foursquare, friending our bosses on LinkedIn, and liking everything on Facebook. You’d think McDonald’s would make a social network just so we could get an “I’m lovin’ it” button.
Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, has invented his own law of sharing, saying that each year, people will share double as much online as they shared the year before. From pictures to events to what you’re eating for dinner, seems like social networking executives want us to share everything online.
Truthfully, most of us are sharing more than before. Twitter being 100% public seemed odd several years ago, but nowadays, many of us cross-post to the relatively more private Facebook and the absolutely public Twitter. But what’s the limit? How much will you share online?
We’re curious: Do you think you share more online now that you used to? Are you cutting back on how much you share, or do you think you’ll continue to share more and more on social networks?
