Actually, I was only half joking.

I'm serious regarding unintended leakage of private information through social networking and even deliberate data mining.

Here's a good read that arrived in my mailbox today.

We all know Microsoft is evil. Doesn't even come close to the Feds :D

Hotmail's social networking busts your privacy

By Woody Leonhard

In its rush to take on Facebook and Google Buzz, Microsoft is now collecting and displaying personal information on your Hotmail page — information you may never have wanted to broadcast.
Don't use Hotmail? How about Windows Live? Did you ever use Windows Bing search to get ebay cashback? Did you ever click "I agree" on any of those pages so you could start using the service?

I'm with you on that one. Very little of my personal info is on my FB page :)

I never use Bing, or hotmail or Windows Live, thankfully.

Can you have your wife send me a "neighbor" request? Here is my link: http://apps.facebook.com/fishville/index.php?appRef=bookmark.
