Re: One more reason to not use Facebook

LinkedIn is a serious site where people dont put messages like 'I farted', 'I just had coffee' etc.

Re: One more reason to not use Facebook
Are we not a Facebook sort of site? I mean we start some thread and then everyone replies and soon we derail it.
![]() I have seen facebook. People mostly write something stupid and then you get more chat type of replies and its all general time pass. Nothing wrong with it. Only difference is that we dont get many more 'friends' like Facebook does.. |

Re: One more reason to not use Facebook
Some Facebook users' live chat messages and pending friend requests were briefly visible to their contacts this week, as the result of a bug in the massive social network's "Preview My Profile" feature. "For a limited period of time, a bug permitted some users' chat messages and pending friend requests to be made visible to their friends by manipulating the 'preview my profile' feature of Facebook privacy settings,"
Facebook confirmed the contents of a video posted to TechCrunch Europe on Wednesday that demonstrated the flaw, and has temporarily disabled its live chat software, but denied that it was a large-scale security problem. What exactly happened in the video? Facebook's privacy settings offer a feature called "Preview My Profile," which lets you type in the name of someone on your friends list and then see how that person sees your profile in accordance with your privacy settings. But it appears that somehow "Preview My Profile" actually gave the user in question a glimpse from inside the other user's profile, and so it displayed live Facebook Chat conversations and replaced the original user's list of pending friend requests with the user whose "view" was being previewed.

Five hidden dangers of Facebooking *Mon, May 10 03:15 PM Washington, May 10 (ANI): An expert in online privacy has drawn attention to the five dangers of sharing information on social networking site Facebook.

Privacy settings revert to a less safe default mode after each redesign 3. Facebook ads may contain malware 4. Your real friends unknowingly make you vulnerable 5.
