Only if you deliver it in person. :mrgreen:

Another reason not to use all those idiotic Facebook apps:

Report: Facebook apps transmitted personal info
Mon Oct 18, 7:42 am ET

NEW YORK – The Wall Street Journal is reporting that 10 popular Facebook applications have been transmitting users' personal identifying information to dozens of advertising and Internet tracking companies.

The newspaper said Monday that the breach also includes users who set all their information to be completely private. And in some cases, it says, the apps provided access to friends' names.

A Facebook spokesman told the Journal on Sunday that the company would introduce new technology to contain the breach. It's not clear how long the breach went on.

The paper says Facebook also has taken immediate action to disable all applications that violated their terms.

Most apps are made by independent software companies, not by Facebook.

One time I joined FB. Then there was a local "group" for software developement which I also joined. Then I received geared adverts I think because a belong of some members to special population groups.

Then I deactivated, and over months, received friends requests of weird people I have never met. I turned them down, but the requests were sent many times. Even if I deactived the account already, and blanked my page!

FB is no good I think, all this personality cult for M. Zuckerberg.

Some accounts may even be completely fake or set up by imposters/spammers.

There is also NETLOG, about 100 million users, no adverts, no personality cult, no content stealing, just a plain social network.

Uh oh. :sweat:

'Angry Birds' Facebook App Debuts On Valentine's Day

JAKARTA, Indonesia -- Angry Birds has joined Facebook.

The popular avian menace game debuted on the social network globally Tuesday.

Rovio Asia senior vice president Henri Holm said the company launched the new version of the game in Jakarta because it's the "world's most Facebook-connected city."

He said he hoped the game could reach more than 800 million users worldwide. More than 17 percent of Indonesia's 240 million people have Facebook accounts.

He said more than 17 million are in Jakarta and surrounding areas.

He hoped the introduction on the Valentine's Day could amplify social connections among families, friend and loved ones.

Ran across this one girl from my jr. high/high school days on Facebook.

Back when we were in school she was the one girl every guy had a mad crush on. If she said "Hi" to you even once it made your year. Anyway, now she's twice divorced, has 3 sons one of which is currently doing a stretch in prison. You never know how life's gonna turn out.

Right on. There's a lot of truth to that.

It's always fun finding or revisiting a show that is so engrossing. A rare occurrence all in all.

That show has numerous episodes that fall into that category. :applaud:

Fortunately, my name in real life (Zbigniew Wojciehowicz) is a fairly common one.
So I'll just tell her, "No, you must have me confused with someone else."

(Who just happens to look exactly like the guy you're looking for) ;)
