I think it is great. I never put anything on there that I wouldn't want others to see. I am not big on applications but the number of old friends that have contacted me that there is no other way I would have been in contact with makes it worth it. I don't even have a problem with them trying to make some money off it - I mean hell, I'm on there every few days and they haven't got a red cent from me! Then again - MySpace? Ugh.

I hate all those applications and pokes and wish they would leave me alone instead of stuffing my inbox with requests to join 101 things. Since most people don't even know they are sending you this crap, I decided to just no log in anymore. If you don't want to go thru the deleting process, just put in fake info on some lines ... to throw off the identity thieves. Facebook is evil- the way they are selling their database is total evil.

I hate Facebook anyway and never use it unless a friend forces me to. You are right about getting rid of everything before deactivating the account. Yes the info is still on their servers. But I think this fault of Facebook is getting about and I saw a very recent post about Facebook having egg on their faces, but as I knew that :) I didn't read it. Maybe it's about the privacy problem. Another thing they did was ignore copyright on Scrabble. That was the only application I was interested in. <em>Jenny's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ozwebhub/THuX/~3/238082969/'>You tube download to computer, phone, PSP</a></em> I read about this Facebook thing.

Although I don't use FaceBook anymore, I have just finished authoring an application for it. But I can see your point. If you had yourself listed as a single female I am sure you'd have an endless stream of guys trying to hook up with you. Fortunately for me ,an ugly male, I never had that problem.
