Monoclinic 39 Posted January 24, 2010 Could these people know your email address, as you can search on Facebook by email rather than name? Ugh, I didn't know that! I will have to check which one I used, but I doubt if they would all have it anyway. For one thing, I've never emailed the ex-colleague, it's a Christmas-cards-only sort of thing. Here's my bet hedged "or summat". If you have these people's email addresses on the account you signed up with then Facebook can locate them. It might seem creepy but I think it's fascinating how they can make these links if what I just said isn't the case. That and the six degrees application (that I can no longer find) that you used to find out how you could be linked to someone if you didn't already know them. I now know of people I know who know people I do not know who know people I know. However this all probably stems from the fact I'm someone who likes to discover things so I guess that could be why I don't find it creepy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josco 49 Posted September 9, 2010 Am I the only person who loathes Facebook and refuses to have anything to do with it? No, I too don't really like it although I do have a page (Is that the mot juste?) I won't have my picture on it and although I have responded to 'friends' requests I generally just ignore them and log on about once a fortnight(ish). My super HTC Desire has Facebook built in and I am amazed and unnerved at how it all hangs together. In cyberspace there is nowhere to hide..............

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,187 Posted September 10, 2010 I dont get what all the fuss is about. Facebook isnt a living being, nobody is pulling out your toe nails if you dont have an account or go onto it. You dont have to be "friends" with anybody, you dont have to give status updates, you dont have to post comments, you dont have to join groups or have a Farm or summat and, basically, you dont have to do fuck all. Is it intrusive? Probably Can it give too much information about you to a third party? Almost certainly. Then again, the same can apply to a multitude of Social networking sites/forums. FB is no better and no worse than spending too much time on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

honez 79 Posted October 14, 2010 I had a page. I got tired of the drama and had it deleted. Facebook really makes you jump through hoops to get your account deleted. Facebook keeps 'deleted' user photos online for years. Direct URLs of 'deleted' information still available 30+ months later. Why would anyone expect them to delete the vast mine of freely supplied, correlated and cross-linked user information in their data warehouse? 'Deletion' in their case appears to be deletion of the web-facing interface, not deletion of the source. No surprise there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
