There is only a finite amount of ourselves, I'm talking average joe here, that we are going/willing to share with the on-line community. Obviously there will be exception to this rule and equally, certain communities where we might share more, for example I keep my Facebook account to friends only. Where there maybe growth for Mark, to help ease his ad status, is in areas of the population that aren't currently on-line. These exist within developed countries where sectors of the population simply haven't yet embraced social networking (they may never, although I do expect to see the percentage growth in this to increase) and within less developed countries where they simply may not have the facilities readily available to do so. But, as you previously stated, even these markets will reach a saturation point where there simply isn't any more data that they wish to share with the on-line community. I think Marks statement is aimed at his ad revenue generation market. He might have been better saying he sees an increase in shared information, but also a percentage increase in the population sharing information on-line. I think your right on all counts here Wayne.

Sure, now and then we may decide to "let it all out" but for the most part we wear the masks we made. Hey,

I went to a conference not too long ago where the general thought by the big names was that online society would return to almost a village status. For example you know a group of people extremely well, you know nearly everything about them and their history. This does not mean obviously that all your friends online will have this relationship with you but some will. Maybe this is the angle? Hi Wayne,
