In response to Lauren's post...
I joined the "Petition: Facebook, stop invading my privacy!" group last week after I saw two of my friends had joined and I clicked on the link to see what it was all about.
This is the group's motto: "Facebook must respect my privacy. They should not tell my friends what I buy on other sites—or let companies use my name to endorse their products—without my explicit permission."
In an age of open information, social networking shouldn't include a total loss of privacy and personal protection. People join these sites to put themselves out there, through pictures or comments, but what you have been purchasing on internet sites should not be standard "bulletin board" material.
Hopefully the increased awareness of this issue will cause Facebook to not only address the problem but fix it swiftly and permanently. Yet this is the risk/reward factor you must face when you choose to join websites like this and partake in these activities.

Using facebook scares me. I don't want a picture I share with the friend I want being seen by the population at large! I use this great service called 2pad to share photos and videos. Check it out at the following:
