What a great resource!!! Or is it??

On the one hand, i have met up with some old friends i haven't seen for years. Some of them i haven't seen for 20 years and when you're only 29, that is saying something!

Only problem is, everyone knows what you're up to, all the time!! They know who you're talking too, they know who you're flirting with (😉), etc...

Take my ex, she keeps getting notifications saying "James just installed X application"..."James just sent a bloody good spanking to sexy so-and-so", etc...

Not that i'm knocking it, i personally couldn't care less what she gets up to, but that doesn't stop her poking her nose into my business!!

It doesn't stop there though. The other day i decided to delete my account. I had grown tired of getting messages from people i didn't care to be in contact with, so i deleted my account in an attempt to take the power back.

I received an email from them saying "if you want to re-activate your account, click here..." Being inquisitive, i did clicked here. Guess what, every last detail of my account was still in tact! Every message, every application, every picture! ALL of my personal details, my likes, dislikes, notes, the lot!

What i'm driving at here is this;

Is this site a harmless 'friends' site, or is it something more sinister? When you delete your account, is it unreasonable to expect them to delete ALL your information or not??

Opinions please....

Facebook is a torrent of meaningless, fun applications that make you feel important. Like you have friends, real friends, people who care. Really.

Can't you just remove your ex from your friends list?

NO! She's my friend!! We broke up 2.5 years ago!! Never the less, there is no way for me to keep my business to myself, which is the problem. 😞

The privacy thing is becoming an issue for me...I've tried bumping all notifications and privacy settings to max, I can still view my profile and info when not logged in.
There are a few people I'd rather not allow to see some of what's going on in my life right now and I hate the fact that any retard can look you up there.
I have no ice cream for these people! Very seriously considering removing my account -would in a heart beat if I weren't so damn addicted to the poker.

It's all rubbish. What the hell is the point in installing and setting privacy on an application called "save water, shower with your friends", only to have the thing stick a button ON YOUR WALL inviting people to do just that? Maybe they're using a different interpretation of the word, maybe i should look that up...
