7. I've been reading about facebook 'connections', 'instant personalization' etc,

Edited on Thu May-13-10 01:09 AM by anAustralianobserver

including watching the latest creepy Facebook keynote speeches.

I think I read that through the new 'like' buttons and other types of connection pop-ups and toolbars all over the web, facebook can track which websites you're visiting *even if you don't click these buttons*, as long as you're logged into facebook while surfing lol

For a while I think most people are just going to connect everything obliviously, but this is a huge development with unknown ramifications. This article explains some of it well:
