Here is why I do not yet have a Facebook. Not saying I will never get one, but owners beware!

Re: Facebook
The headline to that article was redundant. These details were already published online via Facebook. All this does is put them in one file.

Yeah, it's kind of like a tattoo. You better be committed for life.

This means that if any of those on the list decide to change their privacy settings on Facebook, Bowes and those who have the file will still be able to access information that was public when it was compiled.
"As I thought more about it and talked to other people, I realized that this is a scary privacy issue. I can find the name of pretty much every person on Facebook," he wrote. "Facebook helpfully informs you that "[a]nyone can opt out of appearing here by changing their Search privacy settings" — but that doesn't help much anymore considering I already have them all (and you will too, when you download the torrent). Suckers!"
"Once I have the name and URL of a user, I can view, by default, their picture, friends, information about them, and some other details," Bowes added.

Pretty much. But it is like that with most anything online. Even these posts.

Yes, I think this is a little bit more private though.

Not really. Anyone can come on here and see the posts we make. All they would have to do is write a program to somehow copy the posts to their machine/server. Same principle. We have a much smaller user base, so that probably won't happen. However, if we were as big as Facebook, it could conceivably happen.

Re: Facebook
A cool site, which will probably freak your mind out:
http://www.spokeo.com/
Type in your name or your email address. It searches the web for it. It pulled up my name, Facebook, and location from my email address.
Now that is a stalking tool right there.

The info from my name is mostly wrong.
