Facebook usage leaps 20% despite increasing privacy violations
Taken from Julian Harris’ blog:
67% of Facebook users had not even heard of Facebook Beacon and the evil that it is (summary: it shares your profile information with third party vendors even if you’re not logged in and even if you have opted out of everything).
I used to visit FB every day, every hour if I’m honest with myself, but I just seem to be tired of it now.
I think now that I’ve found all my friends - some of the appeal has gone. Now I just email those who I want to stay in touch with. Email - the greatest social networking tool of all time?
Maybe I should download the Flock browser and relight my social fire?
