The 40+ audience his horrified, the 20-something audience is titillated.

Bill, as a 27 year old, I'm torn on this subject. I feel paranoid about "checking-in" and being "tagged", so I never do it. Also my status updates are usually something stupid, funny or clever. I never tell people where I am or what I'm doing or toot my horn about my accomplishments on fb.
It's tough when you go out with a big group though. Inevitably someone breaks out the phone and does a mobile upload or status update and tags you. Then you get home and see it and feel a small part of the life that you own whither away and die.
