It's shit like this that makes me cautious about Facebook for anything these days. An online newspaper I read have pictures of people who have 'like'd their paper on the front page. I notified a few of my friends about this and they were horrified and proceeded to unlike the paper. But the greatest atrocity was committed by Spotify when they put Facebook publishing of songs you listen to on by default. Afaik, they have it off now, but even Spotify goes out of 'private mode' automatically after 5 hours of inactivity. What is the world coming to? I've been a semi-active FB user since 2004 but now I am paranoid about the way their tentacles are infesting every part of the web.
This thread is hilarious - awesome work.
