Yeah, privacy is not really a great argument, I concede. But when you login to F.B you are a tool. Where do you think the robot revolution will obtain their kill lists from?

I'd like to see a de-centralized social networking application.  Kinda like what peer-to-peer did for downloading. Fxxx Zuckabee.

@Scuzz,

You are right that people walk like cattle into these types of harvesters online but my question is, so what? At worst I get ads at least remotely similar to the stuff I "like" and if I don't want to click on them, I don't click on them. I don't get spam as a result of Facebook, just exposure to advertising which is almost unavoidable in modern society.
 
I can understand finding sites like Facebook pretentious, self aggrandizing and narcissistic, but it has a practical application too as Red has found out.

Wow, and I was just about to work on my never used account until you brought up all these sentiments to which I completely agree. Thanks for snapping me out of it! :lol: Also called a "bovine movement" when people do something senselessly/unknowingly in mass.
