This is just creepy on SO many levels.
I prefer to maintain my privacy, at least to the extent possible , in this day and age. No facebooking, no twitter, etc.
I feel that we are over surveilled as it is. I fail to understand the compulsion to post the details of our every day existence for the world to see.
That is why we live in the forest.
More privacy.

But, don't you have to put that info *in* Facebook? People have searched for me in Facebook and can't find me. 1.There are scads of people with my name. 2. My name works forwards or backwards and 3. My picture is a cat. Not one of the 4 below.
Good luck photons. _________________

Yes. You would have to put that data into farceface but if you were offered something that said something along the lines of 'here's a place to put all your photos and share with your friends!'
You'd do that because that's what you'd believe you were doing.
Hey! - here's pictures of my night out!
Here's me on my birthday!
Here's me on my holiday!
Here's my wedding!
Here's my baby!
This website is great I can share everything with my friends and stay in touch with people I used to know from school but didn't really talk to.
That was why you were doing it, you weren't doing it on the off chance something could track you down.
Which does interest me, if you're not putting pictures into farceface, what are you using it for? _________________ I should update my sig. What to put here for $CurrentYear ? |

Yes, I wonder that too. Maybe people like to put their details on facebook for all to see because it makes them feel famous/important/well liked?
There seem to be two extremes. At the one side, you've got people who feel the world has too much survillance and at the other extreme, you've got people who actively seek to have other people know their business. Big Brother and other TV shows being the most severe 'case' _________________ Helen, the Administratrix of www.area51newmexico.com
