Why Do YOU Protect Your Profile Updates On Twitter?

This is kind of an open poll. Increasingly I’m seeing people in my Twitter network protecting their status updates. When you protect your updates on Twitter, only people whom you authorise can read your tweets. They don’t show in Twitter search, and nobody who isn’t following (and authorised by) you can see your replies.

If your profile was previously open and you now decide to protect it, everything you now publish to Twitter goes private, and Google will stop indexing your updates (although your old tweets will remain on both).
