Thanks for the link. Good read. The most important part is about privacy. Followed a few of the links in the article too.
Facebook is more evil than Twitter. I use neither for now but am considering Twitter.

My how Myspace has fallen off too. Never used it either.

I use facebook.  But I have all of my privacy settings set to FRIENDS ONLY.  I recommend everyone do the same.  I searched for my name and found nothing.

I'm no facebook expert, but I think it is like so many other places on the internet.  You just need to be careful about what you put where.  Although I fully intend to continue using facebook, its a good wake up call to be wary of protecting your identity.
