Now they are going too far.
I heard everyone's web activities will be posted up on their profiles for all to see in the next couple of weeks.

    I guess at the end of the day, if you got nothing to hide you got nothing to be worried about - but saying that, at the same time, i don't want to know or care what other sites people are visiting, and i don't want mine spamming up other peoples pages. its just getting rediculous

    that's not what it says at all. you still have to "allow" a site to share, but once you "allow" a website. such as your herald sun you are always linking to here, it will automatically share it on your facebook page. and it is only for website and apps that already have a facebook share or "like" button on them. i know at the end of many news articles and sites it has the little thumb icon for you to "like" then it will ask you to log into facebook if you are not already, and it will share a link to that article to your page. it's not on every website out there anyway. there is no thumb icon anywhere on this forum so it was posts links from here to your facebook.



    any way, i've been thinking of "unplugging" anyway. it's been ages since i have made any real status updates. i mainly use facebook now to keep up with people i don't see regularly. i may just have to not be as lazy and pick up a phone or send an email, or heaven forbid keep Australia Post in business and write an actually fucking letter.

    I don't get it. So if you're logged in to fb on your computer and you navigate to another website in a different browser window/tab then everything you navigate to gets posted on your fb page? Is that how this works?

    Only if ...

    ... the site you visit has a sharing app with FB
    ... you enable the app
    ... your settings are such that you enable the posting of this type navigation to your FB timeline


    At least, that's how I read it.

    FB logon via internet explorer...I open NOTHING else in that internet browser...I surf and come here via Firefox.

    I heard otherwise, I heard all your web history will be posted on your profile automatically for all to see as Facebook installs cookies/spyware on your browser. So if you don't delete the Facebook cookies/spyware and then surf news sites, porn sites, message boards etc Facebook collects that data and stores it.
    So Facebook all along has been collecting info on what you have browsed online and will now add it to your timeline.

    They had a segment on the morning Today show here last week, the IT guru they have on the show suggests all of us use one web browser for Facebook and another for all your other activities, i.e Internet Explorer for Facebook and Firefox for News, Message boards etc

    everytime facebook introduced something new there is mass hysteria that they are selling our photos to companies to us, or stealing our info or doing this and that. but even the articles you posted say that the site has to have a share app with facebook and you have to allow it like what old mate said above.

    everytime facebook does something new everyone gets their shit all worked up about this or that, but i week later they have all forgotten what the old layout even looked like and continue on with their lives.

    Is the Timeline optional?
    I sure as hell do not want it, I just want Facebook simple as it was/is.
    I use it to keep in touch with family overseas, don't want it for anything else.

    is this really that big a deal? its stuff you posted on there anyway. you can always delete it.

    and the web history thing, i believe it's only things you're "liked" or clicked "thumbs up" on right?

    what about myspace? remember that? why is facebook any better? are they not the same thing?

    i would laugh and love it if 13,000,919 people all closed their accounts on facebook and threw their systems into the drink right................now. go.

    i enjoy being online as much as the next youtube/pearl jam addict but this is getting ridiculous w/ all the info spying and sharing. if someone is not computer savy they are in for a rude awakening
