I trust my current friends list to not go off and re-post,tweet or fb my stuff, but I worry that this will force some people to go into hiding; to stop posting personal things and opinions and retreat into a world of memes and youtube videos. (Not that those are bad, mind you, but I like to know about the real issues of people on my flist, you know?)
There was a time, about two years ago or so where god forbid that this option existed, cause I had haters, and probably still do, but hopefully we're all too mature and busy to spend time doing nasty things to each other. But this is a new day, new LJ and so now I feel fine with the people I let see me.
I personally find it reprehensible that potential and current employers find it acceptable to google their employees, find their fbs and twitters and base one's prospective and/or continued employment on such things. Granted, it's common sense, I think, to not post remarks such as "I work at ABC Company in Des Moines, Iowa, and my boss is a fan of S&M mouse-porn," but still, to have someone make a decision on you because you twitter, "Whoo, I like me some Molson!" seems pretty stupid to me.

Okay, I digress. And I always ramble in your LJ!
