On Social Networks...
Dec. 10th, 2007 10:30 amI am fairly close to deleting my myspace page. There are a couple of people I stay in touch with that are only on that site, but it seems weekly someone I know has had their password to the site stolen. I end up having to go into my account and clean up comments that are clearly Spam and so on...
Facebook has been pestering me for months to get my birthday. I assume this is to protect their ass, but... Recently they got even more annoying about it - a Javascript pop-up would appear on almost every page I went to on facebook, asking me for my birthday.
I finally caved. I choose the first date available - 1 January 1910. It rejected that, saying I had to give my real birthday. So I choose 31 December 1910. Again, it told me to choose my actual birthday.
It did not reject 29 October 1929.
As for facebook's Beacon fiasco? Well, for now the usefulness I get from facebook outweighs the amazing privacy gaffes facebook has done (also because I make sure to block any such issue before it effects me)
