    What, providing Facebook with even *more* personal data?

    You know, I find it jaw dropping just how far the brain washing has gone.

    You must be out of your mind to give FB more than it already has. Both FB and Google have proven you're only one programming mistake from disclosure, and they have also demonstrated that there is f*ck all business reasons to worry about that because the fines are less than they spend in an hour on coffee and stationery.

    So Facebook is getting paid to make an unremarkable database interface, which looks like these sites did 10 years ago? I guess the innovation is that it sends your Facebook data to employers, so they can try to figure out what type of person you are from the crap you are likely to buy. For all innovation on the data-selling side, I'd hope for a user interface that doesn't suck.

    Bad idea!!!

    Facebook is for nonsense. I would hate to have to start being well behaved on there.

    LinkedIn is where I pretend like I'm a decent person.
