Many of us are very much into Facebook, to put it gently, but in light of recent discoveries and murmurings in the blogosphere. We may want to reconsider what information we put in our profiles.
Recently, Facebook learned a hard lesson when it released the "Beacon" feature and didn't notify users but even worse made it [...]
