Facebook is Scary

All I can say is that if this wasn't obvious to you from the first time you heard of it, you need to really start looking into how the web works, and who owns your data.  The first app I saw, think it might have been facebook, that offered to look through my gmail contacts to find friends, I felt a chill down my spine.  I don't like the idea of entering my login and password to my email anywhere except on my email login page.  Facebook might be fine, but then again, do I really know that?  Do I really know that they are as concerned with security as they are with social networking?

Then when they opened the API....to be honest, I never looked at it, but I can only imagine that everyone and their mother, all the script kiddies, are writing the next big app, and asking for info they shouldn't have.  Since you might be silly enough to trust facebook, you might be lulled into trusting them.  Silly.
