That serendipitous experience you describe is absolutely one of the delightful things about social networks. That said, however, you need to think like you're designing a person, not a system. So construct it to avoid embarrassment, and allow users to either know or at least guess what embarrassment is possible.

I’m very interested in the emotional experiences created when humans interact with information, and I’ve been struggling with balancing privacy and social desires using social media’s limited tools. Your identity management framework is illuminating, thank you!

Designers, businesses, and users should also be aware of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Fair Information Practice Principles. I posted further info and comments about this at http://exde.wordpress.com/2009/02/17/social-identity-design/.
