A good writer always thinks about his/her audience. A recent article in Wired argues that the advent of social media is improving the sense of "audience" for millions of young people. Although the "misses", such as sending a drunken photo to your teachers/parents/employers, are notable, the average message is tailored for the intended audience much more than before.

My personal connection to this issue is that my mother is critiquing my FaceBook status updates. She thinks they are too boring.

I suggest you start sowing your FB statuses with blatant outrageous falsehoods.

"Was reminiscing today about the time in high school that my friends and I filled the bathroom floor with oranges."

Of course, some/many of my FaceBook friends were in High School/Grade School with me. So some of them would suspect or at least ask about these adventures.
