How Much Information Is 'Too Much Information'? How much information about casual acquaintances is "too much information"? How much personal information do you put out on social media platforms like Facebook?

Are there people you have blocked on Facebook so that you don't have to read about them? In "Don't Tell Me, I Don't Want to Know," Pamela Paul writes: Unless you are my best friend or my husband, I don't need to know the macabre symptoms of your gastrointestinal virus. ... Whether it's via Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, LinkedIn, e-mail or some other form of Internet connectedness, the latest headlines from your super-successful frenemy from high school, the boss who fired you and the awful 14-year-old boy your daughter is in love with are now in your face. ... Let's be straight: it's not just that other people's minutiae bombard us regularly. Students: Tell us about your own information-sharing, and -seeking, habits. Where do you draw the line in deciding what to post publicly? For instance, would you post something about a party that not everyone is invited to? Do you "stalk" other people's online profiles, photos or timelines, then feel guilty, sad, jealous or angry about what you find? What kind of psychological price do you think there might be for you personally, or for us as a society, for having so much access to information about others?
