"Their window curtains were open, Officer! I just stood outside, on the grass, with my camera and a news crew."

Curious how time has changed people's perceptions, even though the service itself didn't.

Back when I started using Facebook, it was obvious that you're building a profile to be publicly accessible, i.e. viewable by random strangers, and everything you posted publicly you did with the intent of it being a part of that public profile. It was kind of like blog, but with guaranteed active audience.

Funny, because when I started using Facebook it was obvious I was building a profile to be only accessible to direct friends at my school. I could safely post party pictures without worrying who saw them.

The intent has changed vastly over time.

By the time I was a senior, one of my parties got busted before it started because I forgot to lock down the invite.
