      Same here. I read about FB in some tech magazine, and thought something along the lines of: “You always use a nickname when interacting with people in online forums, because that’s just normal internet etiquette. Why would anyone want to share their real name and face on the internet?”

      Oh, boy was I in for a surprise when a few years later everyone and even their pets had FB accounts.

        Yeah, my exact feelings as well.

        Why on earth would I advertise my life to a bunch of strangers.

        Before FB, IRC was the thing with nicknames - all text based, as you mentioned.

        Those were the days.
