It can be hard to distinguish a hidden agenda of the sites from the agenda developed by the users of the sites. The pressure to broadcast personal details is extreme. If it's from the site then it's big brother-ish. If it's from the people using the sites then it's peer pressure. Either way I find it offensive. Obviously I'm not a Twit-and I'm only on Facebook because my kids are. (I still don't know what they find offensive about picking up the phone or emailing me, but it's pretty obvious that they find something offensive about it. Presumably they do read the emails I send them but the only way I know what they're doing is from Facebook. They're adults so it's their choice, but I really don't understand it. Or like it.)
