A comment on Facebook Makes Big New Move to Capture More User Data.

I pretty much stopped reading after this line: "Web development thought leader Jeff Atwood...". That and the press release-type of comment above it.

And I agree with everyone else here. Trusting your users to Facebook is a dumb-ass thing to do.

Totally agree. Who made him thought leader? His rise to fame is like Newt Gingrich in the 90's. He isn't great, but amassed a huge following.

But too bad every other website owner that wants a few extra users will do what facebook decides.
