i don't get it...

Social Networking: Some of us use websites, such as Twitter, Facebook and Myspace to communicate with and learn about people whom we might not otherwise talk to. It's a very interesting phenomenon, and I subscribe to a few of these sites to the fullest extent. There is one thing I do NOT understand. Why hide your information from everyone? If you have something to hide, just don't post it on the site. Otherwise, why are you even a member? Do you think people are stalking you? Do you have extremely sensitive information posted? You must be very important, or very paranoid. The whole point of something like Twitter or Facebook is to find people you'd like to communicate with. If you hide it all, why would people want to 'follow' you, or become your 'friend'? douche. That's my rant.
