What persuades internet users to post personal information online?

What is it about online media that gets people to post personal information about themselves?

Why are people being sucked into online media, revealing all sorts of information? What is causing this?What persuades internet users to post personal information online?Here's some essays on those very things, from Bruce Schneier (a well known %26amp; respected Security dude); "Privacy and Surveillance"; http://www.schneier.com/essays-privacy.h…What persuades internet users to post personal information online?This never ceases to amaze me. It's like all these kids are so desperate for attention or fame, they put their whole lives online for everybody to read. And don't tell me it's only for family and friends. Then when friends of friends ask for you to "join", you're connected to hundreds of strangers who could have access to your information. WTF!! I'm old school. I value my privacy.
