For those of you on Facebook...

red,
   i think i'm the last one to refuse to use facebook

Nah, I am here with you.  Social networking in and of itself is not an Evil Thing(tm), however, the way Mark "I'm the CEO, Bitch!" Zuckerberg implements it is not only a Bad Thing(tm) but a Dangerous Thing(tm).

I read an article recently about how Facebook is today what AOL was in the 90s.  And I have to agree to a degree.  I will be waiting for the next decade before I jump on-board.

Sounds funny from a guy who used to have all of his legitimate contact information and birthday in ICQ and on his personal web page.  But then, that was the 90s.  The threat landscape has changed drastically since then.

Your information is out there, Facebook or no Facebook. Sad but true.

Yes, and you could still break down my front door or crash through a window to break into my house, but I still lock my doors and windows.  No sense in making it easy for you.

"They" have made a movie about "him" now.  Next we will see "Girls Gone Wild: The True Story" or something like that, I suppose.

@Piru, great idea about the redirects! Thanks. I had just dedicated my hotmail account for all of my crap e-mails and forum junk but your idea is better for tracking spam source.

Yup, simplicity at its best.  I have a similar approach using tagged throw-away email addresses for everything.  Once one gets spammed, I remove the email address and chastise the associated provider.
