See you all there, if you want to! =)

there are easier ways to install a ton of spyware ...
Facebook according to Wiki (scroll down to year 2007)

cheers, Tom

what are you talking about. facebook isn't spyware. I work with part of their technology and can't see how it can be malignant. Are you talkint about their advertisement platform?

The whole thing is fishy business, but it's different from spyware as far as I know.

as Stardust explained - it may not be spyware technically, but in the end the results are (imho) identical

cheers, Tom

NSA technology at it's best!

i see what you mean, spyware as in leveraging off of personal info. I thought you meant spyware as in a portion stays resident on the user's machine.

Okay, I´ll see...although facebook is nazi scum (just search for germany within and see).

Facebook is no more devious and evil than the rest of the "social net". You can go to any community site anywhere and you will always find people taking advantage of others. The same rules of caution apply to Facebook as to everywhere else: Use your personal details sparingly or not at all, don't install applications you don't trust, turn on every concievable bit of security software you've got, and be generally suspicious of everything. If something looks too good to be true, it usually is.

If you don't want to use Facebook because of spyware/adware/security issues, then you should also avoid MSN Messenger, ICQ and other IM clients, most open forums, most websites with any active content at all; in fact, you'd be better off not connecting to the internet at all.

Cheers!

are you working for facebook? I like the idea and the concept thats why I got an accaount, but there are only a few people out there I can cope with. And I don`t fancy seeing all this nazi scum when I just wanted to search for some local networks.

facebook can stick their little private info-centre where the sun doesn't shine. This stuff is like a disease.

great signature material you got there shrooms

The facebook comment? .. I didn't mean to offend anyone. Just don't like the 'you must create an account to peak inside' vibe.

oh i'm with you. The thing i find fascinating is the pressure you get from friends to suscribe to the thing. I must have received like then invitations or so and then they think you are antisocial for not doing it. ah well this is the 21st century i guess

I don't mind 'people' - but I guess for an account the provider of the network will request information related to an existing person, usually the one asking for the account...
their recent attempt (that got the press attention) to exploit 'profiles' was just a bit premature - obviously they expected far more progess of deafness and stupidity...

righty, right - that's exactly what I do
and soon I will setup one of the retired Macs from the office dedicated to internet access only

cheers, Tom

I have no problem with it. I'm not an avid user, but I do benefit from it. I didn't think people would be so freaked out. I don't think they give out your info, but use it to find your friends

it really is NSA run.

the site is used to profile and track the youth....here's a google search of "facebook nsa track".

that doesn't mean that you shouldn't use it, though. the cellphone and email providers are wired directly into the NSA/dept of homeland security as well(sieg heil!). still, a word to the wise is sufficient.

see?
