I just read this article and then this one:

Maybe I just really do not understand "Facebook" Why in the world would you "friend" a prospective employer or anyone for that matter that who could/would take advantage of your personal history good OR bad.

Don't you have to "friend" someone for them to gain access to your information regardless of how you set up the "security"??

I guess father time has left me in the dust trail.

Dunno - doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, given the existing investment in Android apps/Amazon app store.

As for the Facebook article (not sure quite what it has to do with Amazon & Palm...) - who on earth is Zack Whittaker and why can't he write? Is his editor on vacation? Yikes.

As for any Facebook users, I would suggest that before you get your shirt in a knot about Facebook Timeline, you read this:

Not only can Zack not write, apparently he doesn't do his research either.

That said, the new version of Facebook sure is fugly. Not that it was ever pretty.
