First of all, Merry Christmas! Happy Chanukah and Kwanza and Festivus and whatever else you choose to celebrate this time of year.
Facebook scared the crap out of me. My friend sent me a Facebook invitation. At the bottom, it had a section “Other people you might know on Facebook:”
And it listed people I knew. But it wasn’t like it was a group of people who would be related somehow. These people don’t know each other. So how does Facebook know I know those people?!?
So I sent Facebook a very angry email. I thought they must have hacked into my email contacts and found my friends. I told them I know they must have invaded my privacy somehow and I demanded they tell me how they did it.
However, I think I know how they did it. I did some googling and people with Facebook accounts can import their email contacts into their accounts. I’m guessing Facebook held on to the name of everyone who imported my email into their account, then they just waited to surprise me with all my other friends.
Well I feel kinda violated. I don’t like it.
And you know what? I was going to get a Facebook account so I could see my friends’ photos, but Facebook freaked me out. A little too much big brother going on in Facebook. So no Facebook for me. Sorry friends, no photo viewing.
