So for those on Facebook, you may know about the Beacon ad system that was implemented a while ago which tracks users' web activity and reports back to Facebook. Well, it turns out that some of the concerns mentioned over users' privacy have been validated.

I'm starting to think that if I asked for a firefox extention that could clean my house and fix my boiler, someone would actually be able to give me links to it.

Where has my list of icons gone D:

I could live with a hot naked man who is a plumber and likes house work, even if he couldn't fix the boiler for some reason, at least he could keep me warm ;)

This, along with the recent, "Maybe the guy who created facebook stole the code from other people" thing in the NYTimes, makes me wonder about whether I want to be on there at all.

See, every time someone says Beacon I think about this really good restaurant that's about half an hour from my house.

Now I'm hungry and I can't get there. ;;

Thanks for the heads up. I rarely use my facebook account so I had no idea this was going on.

Aaand it looks like it won't let me opt out of showing the info to my friends until I've actually gone to/registered with those sites. Yaaay.
