Just what are we going to do when all of a sudden, our electric, water, phone and other bills were posted on our profile's wall??? I'm guessing this is the beginning of so many possibilities regarding the significance of the internet in our lives.

I guess the future would be us, living in our computers? Whatchathink?
But really... what's your take with the situation where the social networking sites would soon be used by legal practitioners or suits to send us legal documents? Could somebody remind me again the boundaries and rules of these social networking places, and the internet use?
