You know I am the one among 90% users who has the same username and password in any online community I take active participation. I think now is time to create new accounts and new passwords.

My one question is "What on earth for?" I have not been consulted about sharing such information and I am mad that my privacy may be compromised. Nicole Price's last blog post..Stylish Cookware

I have to say that I’m not particularly comfortable with my contacts (I hesitate to use the word “friends” since a large number of my facebook contacts are people who just randomly added me and whose invitation I accepted purely out of curiosity) being able to see what I get up to on the rest of the Internet.. This is not that I do anything Dodgy while navigating the Internet… I just don’t like the idea of having no secrets…

it’s no secret that 90% of online users repeat their passwords across online communities. Should they be an open source that can check/validate passwords with same username ??

How are they going to know my friends ids on those other sites, unless they use the facebook connect also. Facebook already imports a lot of other web 2.0 stuff and I’m not sure I’m THAT curious to see what my friends are doing on every single website.

The problem with Facebook, Twitter, and other businesses that allow you to track what people are doing online is that they appeal to a very small segment of our society: stalkers.

These stalkers might actually be willing to pay Facebook or Twitter to stalk people one day. Using advanced headline writing from Claude Hopkins, who invented the concept of how the headline should call out your target audience (customer) from the mass crowd of people– I’ve come up with this marketing headline for Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook is seriously popular, however I am one of millions who signed the petition banning Facebook apps requiring all your gory details (and your friends!). They will have to desist from these data mining exercises, as it will detract from the popularity of their offering.

I really don't think it's an issue. I can see the concern though. Utah SEO Pro's last blog post..ExactFactor: An SEO Tool Review

Certainly slightly dodgy on the privacy side of things, but an interesting feature nevertheless.

In fact most people online tend to use the same password every time they register to something. There is a well known social engineering trick to exploit that.
