Nice perspective. Social networks and the availability of our own information on them is indeed up to us and not technology. I am not sure of the analogy to the telephone and the later addition of Caller ID. But I remember when it came out and the loss of anonymity it implied. Of course, it was very good for pizza delivery places and now you don't think much about it.
Social networking sites are simply new channels of communication and being prudent and genuine are, to me anyway, key to how I see my "privacy". And recognizing, without being paranoid, those online efforts that are simply for branding or, as seen on Twitter, get rich quick schemes and interacting appropriately with them.
