I think social media has taken us all by whirlwind and it won't stop.  I also think that generational differences may come into great play here.  Millenials are obsessed with FB &amp; Twitter, and those each have their benefits, but it becomes insane when a person feels the need to share everything that happens in their daily life! The Harvard Business article put it beautifully by stating that narrating your entire life is "narcissistic clutter". (awesome read btw, http://bit.ly/d4kcYg)  Let's face it, not every part of life is that interesting, but it does seem that younger generations believe that all they do throughout a normal day is actually interesting.  I see this with my younger cousin who seems to document every action via FB statuses...to the point where I had to block him.

I think there is a fine line between the selfish sharing versus the 'we' mentality and people need to be aware of not only their intentions, but also the consequences.  What you share with others is out in the virtual world for all to see, including potential &amp; current employers.  As web 2.0 takes organizations by storm, all levels in an organization will be checking each other out...Do you really want your boss or hiring managers to see what your status updates us?  That's the question we should all ask before sharing and baring it all!

Emotional intelligence is the only way a person can get themselves right...but I think it's difficult for individuals to do because it requires shining an honest mirror at YOUr own face...seems that these days, people have mirrors &amp; lights shining on them, this is where the narcissistic behavior stems, but clearer those are funny mirrors that make it all look good.
