Brandon When I go to the Applications page, click "edit settings" for an app., go to "privacy",the choices are: everyone, only friends, friends of friends, only me, etc. What privacy does this refer to?

Hi Brandon,

The privacy section of the application page determines who can see the boxes, tabs, etc. that applications add to your home page. (In other words, it affects who can see that you're running the application, not what information the application itself can see.)

A U.K. firm is set to launch a camera to capture every moment of a person's life. While you may reel at the privacy implications, I'd wager that the high price of not capturing and sharing every moment of our lives will soon dwarf the cost to our privacy.

i agree, the more networking, the shallower the relationships... we're not a data mining machine.

A growing number of companies are trawling social networks looking to scrape up data about you and your friends. For instance, that Facebook quiz you just took? It opened up your photos, political views —- even your sexual preference — to the stranger who wrote it.

It actually goes beyond that. Once they have all of that data, savvy businesses can determine who the influencers are and directly target them.

If, ANY User in this day and age doesn't realize that this open a forum is subject to trawling and information gathering they should be banned from using it!

Anyone who opposes the Google book settlement should make a proposal how acces to books that are out of print can be improved without the Google book settlement. Because it's not good as it is now, and digitalization can be an answer.
