For those with Facebook, and use chat

[Tank]

We've all said things about people before, now it turns out those things can be accessed

thats why i make a point of letting the person i'm insulting know it's aimed at them. stops all the backstabbing and 'he said this and that about you' gheyness. if someone cant take me speaking my mind about them then they can consider themselves 'unfriended'

Actually, you can do this, you can set groups of friends into different categories, (work/family) and go offline in some and online in others

but that involves setting up said groups/categories, i'm not sure i can be bothered with that! its just easier to stay offline

well, recently I was talking to my brother about my sister in law being morbidly obese... which she is, I thought that conversations was private. Today I saw it in my inbox, in plain view..
Im not normally one to backstab or bitch.. but very personal information has been exchanged on that chat in the past. A good close friend recently admitted he had an affair to me via the chat.
If his wife knows his password, the shits gonna hit.

I don't use it. Keep my status as offline so people won't try to chat with me.
If I want to chat I use googletalk.

I have an older coworker who got on to facebook this year.He's new to pc's and he tried googling his name one night on a suggestion from a neighbor.He said that the first hit on google showed something like a logged response he had made on facebook and then took him to his facebook profile.He said he absolutely did not like this and I feel for him as he really doesn't understand how the net works in general.

It's not the same issue as this invasive chat feature, yet it demonstrates how deep facebook communications are embedded on the general internet airwaves.

lol...its very easy to find out all sorts of things about people without facebook.............btw...........you havnt updated your photoalbum for quite a while

Slightly off topic but I was reading how many GPS capable cell phones are embedding personal info in the EXIF data of the picture. Amazing how much info you can leak just by posting a picture online.

thats the same reason i dont use fb chat. i have a few mates that insist everyfuggin time i'm on to start chatting about nothing relevant, i get a message every now and then saying "you havent been on chat for ages how are you?" i have to resist the urge to reply . . . . i have been online, almost every day, its just you piss me off with your incessant jibber jabber so much that its easier to stay ‘offline’.
.

Precisely the reason i dont use facebook, msn, myspace etc - people want to talk to me they can phone me or pm me here
