I can be your facebook stalker!

It's old, but it's good

Interview with Facebook Employee

Good link I found from Gawker. An anonymous facebook employee agreed to an interview and gave some pretty damning revelations, especially with regard to privacy. You can read the whole interview here.

Apparently, facebook keeps track of all the profiles you view, and it stores everything ever put on facebook (even stuff you delete!) There's also a master password that lets you access any profile on facebook.
"I’m not sure when exactly it was deprecated, but we did have a master password at one point where you could type in any user’s user ID, and then the password. I’m not going to give you the exact password, but with upper and lower case, symbols, numbers, all of the above, it spelled out ‘Chuck Norris,’ more or less. It was pretty fantastic."
Crazy.

25 things we hate about facebook

We love facebook... but we have to admit... these 25 things are annoying!

Eeeks!

Stumbled upon this story from the Electric Frontier Foundation.
"Our conclusion? These new "privacy" changes are clearly intended to push Facebook users to publicly share even more information than before. Even worse, the changes will actually reduce the amount of control that users have over some of their personal data."
Not sure I like what I've been hearing about these privacy changes.
