Do people reveal too much on social networks?

A lot of people are saying more than they should on the social networks. That’s not to mention all the revealing pictures and videos. Not only might some embarrassing data come back to haunt you in the future but there are some current dangers according to John Dvorak. In his column at MarketWatch, he says social networking invites crime:

If I were a professional thief, the first thing I would do is get a computer, find the folks out there who document everything they do on social-networking sites, and go rob them.

Reports of such burglaries may be scattered, but I’m still not sure what makes people think it’s a good idea to tell the world what they’re doing each and every minute of the day. There seem to be more than a few folks who relish the thought, and now they have the social-networking services, namely Twitter and Facebook, to do that.
