Someone invited me to look at something (not SL related) on Facebook recently, and I balked at the amount of potentially sensitive info I was being asked to give away. Can't one do a lot of the same stuff using a blog? I tend to be very picky about accepting files from people unless I know they are in fact someone whose RL phone number and address I have (and have confirmed they are real, not an abandoned hospital in Philly), and in whom I otherwise have some basis for at least minimal trust.

Wouldn't a SL/Facebook link-up sort of run counter to what used to be part of Community Standards regarding exposure of personal information and related privacy concerns?

I appreciate that many of us would like to be in an environment where we actually know something about who we're dealing with, but, unless Facebook has some magic means of proving its members are who they say they are, it seems like an unwise risk to go placing much personal info on the net.

Then again, as my subject header says, having balked at the steps needed to gain access to Facebook, I really don't know much about what it even looks like ;)
