I'll admit I was late to the social networking crazy. I think Fred Wilson, the NYC Venture Capitalist said it best: to understand these emerging technologies one must use them, and so I have and do. I'll go on to say that I like them, the Facebooks and MySpaces, and would prefer to see everyone I know on them. It a great way to share pictures and passively (or actively) keep in touch with the people you've come across over the years.
I'm pleased with Facebook's new feature that allows me to permit "friends of friends" to see photos that I've been tagged in. I like how specific the privacy is getting, I'll admit that I have no desire to use the social networking sites to advertise myself, rather, only to keep in touch, so adding these sorts of features makes that easy. For example, if someone has tagged my friend Joe in a photo, and I don't know that friend, if "friends of friends" for tagged photos was enabled in Joe's friends privacy settings I would be able to see good old Joe wherever he was.
