"There is a great secret that beings throughout time have announced, the secret of an extraordinary treasure, the treasure of the nectar of eternal life. It is the nectar of pure beingness, recognizing itself as consciousness and overflowing in the love of that recognition.
If you imagine yourself to be located in a body, then you will move that body from place to place, searching for this treasure of nectar. But, if you will stop all searching right now and tell the truth to yourself, you will know what is known in the core of your bones. You will know what these great beings knew and attempted to describe. You will know it with no image of it, no concept of it, no thought of it. You will know it as that which has eternally been here. And you will know it as yourself."

No. Because as long as you know how to set your account options, there are no privacy issues to deal with.

It's looking great SC, my mouth was drooling when i browsed through all the pictures.

As for facebook, set your privacy settings to friends only. That's what i do, atleast. Why would you want people that aren't your friends looking through all of your stuff?

There are five possible operations for any army. If you can fight, fight; if you cannot fight, defend; if you cannot defend, flee; if you cannot flee, surrender; if you cannot surrender, die.

Well it would be nice if its just that 'friends only', but you always tend to be running after the facts as FB always finds new ways to 'conveniently share' your stuff. Those new options are always 'on, unless you turn them off'.
Besides, you never know what these kinds of companies will do with your data. Take for example Twitter. In the news just now, because if you use 'search for friends' in the app on your phone, the app will copy and upload all your contacts to Twitter. They store that data for at least 1.5 years. What happens with that data? Nobody outside Twitter-company knows. You have no way to track your data, stuff like that bothers me.
The worst part is that its hardly any good to delete your own account because your data will be shared by unknowing friends anyway when they search for friends...
Twitter doesn't tell you that, at least not the way they should as doesn't FB most of the time.

That said, however, I can see where the benefits for companies like 3000ad lie, by using social media. ;)
I have decided to stop using them. To each their own of course.

Anyone who is not already a fan of the FB page, should not come crying to me when you can't get into the Beta. No, signing up is not a guarantee that you will be accepted and be given a key.
