Will You Give Your Partner Your Facebook Password ?

Over the years, social networking has grown to become an integral part of our day to day lives. Social networking sites have become extensions of our psyche. Some have gone as far as living out their lives on social networking sites.

These sites are so advanced that you can virtually control who has access to your profile and how much information the person is privy to. In light of these advancements, the issue of sharing passwords becomes more complex than owning a joint bank account with your partner. If it is indeed an extension of our psyches then surely one cannot be expected to share this medium.

Personally, sharing a password equals allowing the other person to impersonate you. How will he/she know which friend requests to ignore and which to accept, or who to poke and who not to poke, etc it's a faux pas waiting to occur. I am sure there are those who will argue that giving your partner your password doesn't necessarily mean he/she will access your page, but if he/she is not going to access your page why the need to share passwords? If there are issues of trust then I doubt if sharing of passwords will help matters.

I think when it comes to social networking passwords the phrase 'To each, His own' rings true. There are those who might disagree with this assertion and who will go ahead and share passwords, but a word of caution to these daring few 'You cannot roast corn with two sets of eyes'.
