Facebook is, along with everyone else’s, on my SH_T list………Is anyone out there considering paying them a visit on their listed address at 1601 S. California Av. In Palo Alto?

Facebook, and the other social media site have become the tool Internet, and Network Marketers are using to connect with like people, for the purpose of finding some who are interested in what they are doing or their business opportunity. It's called Internet Attraction Marketing, or Web2.0, and it's being used more and more by MLMs.

Until the next marketing tools come around, Internet, and Network Marketers will continue using Facebook, MySpace, Wowzza, DirectMatches, AdlandPro, and many other, even if they don't like the changes. They will adapt to the changes.

True, just do what I do though.
Employment History = Kizer Soze from 1908 on
Movies = MPAA sucks
Music = RIAA sucks
TV = MPAA sucks
Religion = Religion sucks

In short, a person can still use Facebook and other social sites without ever giving up any personal data. Although the data I give up is definitely guite accurate, MPAA/RIAA and religion do suck.

You get used to things. I’ve never used Facebook nor any of the other social sites. You see I got this thing against those who want to invade my privacy. Who want to use my data for making money but the key here is “it’s my data” not theirs. They didn’t pay me for the data and I am not willing to give it to them. So Facebook, Myspace, or whatever has never been on my horizon as a place I want be.

As always, when it comes down to making money, corporations and many websites have an entirely different view of what constitutes privacy as opposed to the individual the data belongs to. More times than not, they are in direct conflict. Why else would some sites need 2500 words or more in a EULA? Not but one reason I can think of, to have somewhere to hide the fine print that round-aboutly describes what they really have in mind. Instead of just saying it in print, they have to bury it because they already know if you read and put two and two together, you would absolutely not want their services.

“We’re flattered to have such passionate users provide feedback on the new site design, and we’re pleased to see them sharing their views, which is what Facebook is all about. We are still working on the site and are committed to making Facebook better for all users.” said by Facebook

I think they meant “We’re flattered by the money gained by invading our users’ privacy, and we’re pleased to see them giving up more info about themselves that we can sell, which is what Facebook is all about. We are still working on data-mining, and are committed to making Facebook a waste of time for all users. Just one weekend? That’s it?”
