"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

http://mashable.com/2010/05/20/facebook-caught-sending-user-data-to-advertisers/

Large advertising companies including Google’s DoubleClick and Yahoo’s Right Media were identified as having received information including usernames or ID numbers that could be traced back to individual profiles as users clicked on ads. The data could potentially be used to look up personal information about the user, including real name, age, occupation, location, and anything else made public on the profile. Both of the aforementioned companies denied being aware of the “extra” data they were receiving and claim they have not made use of it.

...

The Journal found that Facebook went farther than most in sharing identifiable data, by sending the username of the person clicking the ad as well as the username of the profile they were viewing at the time. This news could hardly come at a worse time for Facebook, a company that currently faces a privacy backlash potent enough to make the cover of Time Magazine this month.

lol

missing LiveJournal rite now tbh

Neither Yahoo nor Doubleclick knows its arse from its elbow so I'm prepared to believe this tbh.

In other news a friend (and colleague) logged into facebook from my laptop and failed to click "never" when asked if he wanted his U &P to be remembered. I am now in a position to log into his account whenever I want, until he changes his password. Should I take advantage of this power and if so, how?

join every furry group on Facebook that you can find

these people might have some ideas for you

they're just going to say "join every furry group on Facebook you can find, oh and also be super racist"

"We only support white-furred creatures."

OH man.

are you still facebook friends with them

are they really that awesome

i think many of us are facebook friends with "them" ; )

Yeah I may be in danger of a straight red for "helping his spirit live on"

hahahaha, gotcha. RIP

Fuck TWO people I know have added that fucking "im awesome im awesome" shit, so it spewed all over my news feed twice. Anymore and I'm going on a hide spree.

link to that thing?

is it a rickroll type thing? I ran my cursor over it and it didn't link to a Facebook page

I think they just implemented something where if a liked thing is too many characters it gets shortened and they throw an ellipsis on the end

looooooool

Facebook Questions!!!: http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/23/facebook-questions/

Oh christ, that'll be annoying as shit.

you are 100% correct

Oh man this might finally chase me away. Unless you can just completely 'hide' the whole app.

they're going to keep doing a lot more to make this even less fun to use, right?

they gunnin for ilx now.

I think we should fight back with ILX status updates, "like" buttons and a FAP App.

i think we should fight back by making the boards even more simpler than they are now

whole site should really just be a blank white page imo

w/ maybe jiggle panda

People leaving Facebook for whatever reason is fine, but there's nothing worse than the hot air of self-important explanations for leaving (with one or two exceptions). Also, if you're whore enough to have 2000 friends because you add every random person, you should've stuck with MySpace.

y'all should add me, btw -- i'm the top post in the ILM group, just let me know who you are if you add me: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2200160366
