It's not strictly about that, it's an irrational fear of the API growing pains that Facebook went through. That is to say, apps the user installed having more access than the user liked. Whether through malicious means or ignorant users, it was a common trope "back in the day". I understand it's completely irrational, but i have yet to link my FB to a single thing due to this irrational fear. I'm sure if i used FB more i would have worn away this fear, but there is honestly no page on the internet that makes me feel more old than FB. I go there and all the buttons and overload of "things" makes me feel like i'm looking at a AOL sign-on page from way back. Mind you i'm 32, so not that old.. but still, there is some type of age and or usage issue going on in my head. I say this not as a complaint, but more as a curiosity for fellow developers. I'm sure i'm a small minority of FB users, but it seems as if i'm a fringe user who had their trust broken and is very tough to get back. I'm totally willing to go to FB (albeit, infrequently), just unwilling to link stuff via their API. Also, to be clear, when i mentioned the trigger word "Privacy", i did not mean Privacy from Facebook. I was referring to spammers/scammers/etc. |
