Yes people do need to realize this, especially tweeters! You may think it is safe to tweet your leaving for the weekend if your profile is locked to private and only your friends see it but what if one of your friends has a public account and retweets it with a question or something?? Now everyone can see that you will be gone because they have to put the users name in a Re-tweet.
Exactly! Many people do not realize that just because they made an entry that is meant for their small personal community that each member of their community has their own community and if they comment on your entry it goes out across both communities. Sort of like the old shampoo commercial...I told two friends, they told two friends and so on and so on and so on ad infinitum.
