Having spent just a year and a half in the "professional" world after graduating, it's been an interesting transition for me trying to decide "what information do I want on the net" and "if I blog/tweet/facebook this could it come back to haunt me later". As a student i used to blog pretty freely about what went on at school and funny things that happened at my student job. Now I feel like there are large chunks of my life I don't want to /can't share, (for example, i keep work totally off limits) and my blog has gone more 'silent' because of it. I used to post daily--now it's more like weekly or every other week. I don't use twitter a lot (nothing against it, just that most of my closer acquaintances use facebook and all of my more important twitter contacts -like you- repost their tweets on facebook, so I still get what I want anyway) but I am pretty avid on facebook and a lot of the smaller stuff that I used to blog, goes there. I feel like I'm able to be a little more candid there because of their privacy controls. Of course stuff still gets around--but I feel (perhaps erroneously) that I'm a little more able to control who sees it. If I had stuff like your fantasy fest photos, that i really wanted to post, I would probably do it there--with some pretty strict privacy limits on that album. Still not failsafe, because nothing's safe on the internet, but probably a good balance. Interesting post, Ben!

I too was a fan of Outlook, esp 2007, but a much bigger fan of my Mac. Was with Entourage for a little while when I was working at an office using Exchange, synced well with my Blackberry as well. Now on my own using an iPhone. Been using iCal and Mail for several months syncing iCal and address book through Google Calendar so I could get OTA sync. Funny how the iPhone doesn't do that unless you sign up for Mobile Me. Anyway, after nearly a year I still miss Outlook. Loaded a trial version into Windows 7 inside of Sun's VirtualBox. Yeah for free! (at least for now). Realized I still really like Outlook's functionality. Entourage is close but just not the same. Anyway back to messing with Entourage and your post let's me set up syncing through my Google Calendar which is already syncing with my phone OTA. If only MS would make a true version of Outlook for the Mac.... Thanks for this. I too was a fan of Outlook, esp 2007, but a much bigger fan of my Mac.
