The first word of the subtitle is not a word. Althought should probably be although.

I feel sorry for people that have to tell everyone every little thing about their lives, or what they are doing every minute. Ridiculous.

'we found a way in and tested it' - er, didn't they announce it would be available to developers straight away? Sorry - that's not exclusive.

Forgot to say:

It's not a hack, not a trick, just available for developers as a 'heads up' to allow testing and development. Quite normal, nothing special.

I have not seen a request for email or your credit card nr at all. Just be honest say you're too chicken to test it..

In the past I "cleaned" up my wall by going back (and back and back). Very time consuming, deleting posts on my wall which I found not so suitable anymore. The time-line is very organized and gives you the opportunity to Hide, Delete or put on your Time-line (basically your wall) postings from yourself or others. Very handy, in case you want to delete spontaneous outings (kissing, cursing, or the like). You see a bit of statistics. The amount of new friends you made, wall pictures. I like it very much. And you can put any form of private level there.

Mr. Kid CEO, Facebook was a fling. Leave it there. It will go away just like MYSPACE.

As opposed to people who read articles about such sites and then post a snarky comment about how they feel superior to people who use such social networking sites?

You give a corporation all the private data of your life.... for free?

Anyone that participates with Facebook should talk to a mental health professional and a business advisor.

The only thing I use Facebook for is to log int websites like these (my entire Facebook profile is complete garbage).

Regarding privacy, I agree that it's important to be careful with settings, but even that won't protect you.

This is a cybercriminal’s dream. While there are other avenues for finding out personal information, it is a game changer when the data are consolidated into a consistent format in one place. It is so much easier now to write and run an automated scraper and to apply the gleaned data. The timeline has surely made a whole crop of people who do not manage privacy settings wisely into low-hanging fruit for cybercriminals.

It even significantly increases risk for those who are careful with privacy settings. For example, one can use data taken from an extended-family member whose information is public to crack accounts owned by others.
