At least on 43things.

I was just browsing the web and thought I would stop by 43things to see what was going on that side of the internet. They have a nice little list set up which shows the top 10 New Year’s Resolutions of 2010. I guess a lot of people are planning on losing their virginity. Some of the other popular resolutions are “lose weight,” “fall in love,” and other things that most people will forget starting next week.

But wait, that’s not all. There are 1,277 people who want to “do this” and there is also an article on how to lose my virginity.

I don’t know, I just find these kind of things as “too much information.” Some things are just meant to be shared with people that are close to you, behind closed doors and not publicly on the web (maybe I am too “old school”). Whether you are using your real name or fake, you can be traced one way or the other. My only prediction in 2010 at this point is that, this year we will be seeing a lot of people getting divorced, fired and what not because of their Facebook updates, tweets, etc.

Compare this to the list above. It just goes to show people are getting comfortable sharing private and unnecessary information much easily than they were in the past. When it comes to social media, we are so used to hearing all the good stuff, but there’s a downside to it as well. We’ll be seeing the flip side of social media and transparency quite often this year, I am sure.
