Question!
How are these websites being connected in the first place? IP address? Email address? You connected your accounts two months ago on a whim and have forgotten about it till now(I don’t mean to sound snarky, but I’ve seen at least one website offering that my account could be linked with my facebook account)?

I think this is important to know before this gets into a larger shitstorm.

Hey, Markus, I like your idea…I may have to ‘Facebook it’ to my friends & groups…(ah, the irony!) I plopped it into our links list on Shaping Youth where I just finished a laborious round-up of commentary on this issue, called “Facebook, Can you hear me now? Peepin’ is Creepin’ Me Out!” I had no idea they added a Digg-feature to the whole feed debacle either, sheesh. Here’s my post: http://www.shap...org/blog/?p=810

No, this won’t make it better!

Facebook already lost the last few ounces of trust that I had for them.

I’ll be deleting my account on Nov30, the international “Leaving Facebook-day”!

Facebook already is the biggest database of user behavioral information and now they will gather even more data about us? Fearsome!

“Did you read the article? AT ALL?

It’s optional. It’s opt-in, opt-out. They aren’t making it mandatory. They aren’t saying it’s a new “requirement.” They’re saying – you want your friends to know? We’ll cut out the middle man so you can click “Update the feed for your friends on facebook.”

You want your friends to know you did X at X? They make it easy. Seeing how many people love twitter and the “_my_name_ is…” crap you think people’d be more receptive.”

Yeah, but facebook puts a crazy amount of pressure on you to sign up for all sorts of ludicrous nonsense.

If you want privacy you can probably get some in a deserted island

Seriously, Are people really thinking that internet user identities are securely locked away in a safe somewhere. I’ve heard stories of even tiny mom & pop I S Ps selling user data like crazy. Well lets not get started with the phone companies… get real people.

@96 The display of the data is optional. If you believe for one minute that the data is not collected regardless of your privacy settings you are a fool.

@knightrojen: You can only opt-out of sharing the information with your friends. You cannot opt-out of sharing the information with Facebook. So make sure you are comfortable with the fact that Facebook will know every time you buy a movie ticket at Fandango, shop on Ebay, leave a comment on a TypePad blog, rent something on Blockbuster, etc, etc
