What Facebook Knows

http://j.mp/LC3gv2  (Technology Review)

   "If Facebook were a country, a conceit that founder Mark Zuckerberg has
    entertained in public, its 900 million members would make it the third
    largest in the world.  It would far outstrip any regime past or
    present in how intimately it records the lives of its citizens.
    Private conversations, family photos, and records of road trips,
    births, marriages, and deaths all stream into the company's servers
    and lodge there. Facebook has collected the most extensive data set
    ever assembled on human social behavior. Some of your personal
    information is probably part of it."

And knowing that Mark Zuckerberg has ultimate say over how that data
is used gives one such a warm and fuzzy feeling, eh?
