What is up with people untagging themselves from photos in Facebook? Why did I go to the trouble of uploading funny old photos if they're just going to bury them in Facebook etiquette anyway?
Not everyone likes having photos of themselves online, much-less linked to their name and online identity. Depending on the line of work you are in it can be a liability as well. Given the proliferation of digital cameras and photo-hosting sites in the past few years, it can be a given that if someone take a photo it's going to appear online. With photos taken with traditional 35mm cameras or photos taken before 2000, it was assumed that any photos taken of a person when hanging out with friends would be for personal use and not for wide distribution. It's simply a change it common expectations.
I personally do like to be tagged in photos, but this is something that I think it's best to secure permission for in advance. Anyone reading this hereby has blanket permission to tag me.
And if my boss wanted to friend me in facebook I would be like "dealing with mental trauma from any gay innuendo you may come across is entirely your own responsibility, and with that said, sure, I'll friend you."
Oh yeah, and some people I know are, uh, academic professionals using pseudonyms, and I have it on good authority that the academic world is very friendly and welcoming until you get your PhD, and then instantly becomes extremely cutthroat. So these people are probably the most wary of real names that I've ever seen anyone, because they don't want somebody dragging up details of their private life in order to block their careers.
