Not only does Phil share a lot of information on facebook but he has also linked his twitter account to his facebook so he also shares all his tweets. His profile picture is from a football saturday, luckily for him sunglasses cover what are almost definitely some glazed over eyes from a few beers. Now let's see what Phil has been up to since last Monday.

Phil changes his status to share that he is upset by bears fans jubilant statuses following the win over the Packers (Phil is a Bills fan)
Tuesday -

Phil was lucky enough to sit on stage behind Obama so a barrage of tagged photos start coming in that night.

Phil is attending Deadmau5 concert
Phil loves updating people on his life. When someone likes or comments one of his statuses it probably makes his day. Phil isn't shy about sharing anything, relationship status, drinking behavior, or when he injures himself at work. Phil also likes to point out how cool/awesome he is which of course is exactly what must make him so cool and awesome.
As for broader implications, I do think Facebook is a very useful tool in staying connected or re-connecting with old friends. One area on facebook that Phil excels at is keeping in touch with a lot of people from our high school, people that I myself don't really keep up with. Without facebook I'm not sure Phil would maintain these connections so it is beneficial in that way. Facebook is also a practical application for promoting different events, Phil is always RSVPing yes to pretty much every facebook invite he receives. So this is another useful purpose of facebook.
Phil is definitely way more outgoing and forthcoming with status updates than myself and while sometimes I shutter at some of the status updates, I do admire the lack of fear for social backlash. At the very least Phil is not afraid to be out there and to be himself. Facebook is just a medium for Phil to be Phil.
