Good article, Lee.

I realized something weeks ago. Actually, I hate Facebook and all this web 2.0 style social networking. I have real friends and don't need to stay in contact with them via some network lol. Thanks to the good lord (or maybe just the developers...), we have phone and email... or I could just walk to them ;-)

Anyways, when I use Mobster for example... the people I play with can see my *full* name in the application. "I" automatically send them notifications that I played with them. Same with every other Facebook application that I was trying out. Even the movie review site Flixster or whatever their name was. No way to deactivate it.

A reason for me to delete *all* applications from Facebook. Facebook cannot guarantee any privacy for me. It was asking me to set up privacy options... but what if I did hide my profile to others... how is it possible that others - non friends - can access them via third party applications. No way Facebook! :-(

And somehow Facebook is starting to become a second MySpace...
