Comment on Being Social Is About Being Private

Comments

I agree, and I suspect that most users do as well. This poses an interesting question, though; why have sites like Facebook and Quora been imposing this upon people automatically? What is the 'business' benefit of forcing users to share exactly when they recieve, read, and respond to messages?

Creating a social obligation to respond in many cases = more usage of the service.
