Tons of websites trace every click you make, have algorithms designed to cater to your preferences, and of course admins should have unlimited access to the site (not to be abused, of course).<br><br>Personally I'd be more concerned about the companies that have similar practices and datas that maintain more important information, and that are NOT just a social  networking site that you WILLINGLY put information / photos on. For example, Microsoft/T-mobile's servers that store Sidekick messages, contacts, etc, which if that is your phone you have no choice but to rely on, Google, which monitors and stores all your searches and emails, both of those are examples of companies that have information more important and integral to our lives than Facebook.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Luscious]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 15th 2010 10:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/01/15/anonymous-employee-reveals-ugly-details-of-facebooks-inner-work/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/01/15/anonymous-employee-reveals-ugly-details-of-facebooks-inner-work/</guid><description><![CDATA[One pit fall many people who use facebook and other social networking services is that they can, and are, monitored by your employers, potential employers - if you're looking for a job - and by certain alphabet government agencies.<br>Not to cause a "Big Brother" panick, but one needs to be careful of how one uses these services.<br>Be careful of who you invite to become "one's friends", be careful of what you say and how you say it.

Also, many professionals are members.  My COO of the company I work for (1500 employee company) is a member and has access to what he ca view (by choice) and thus I keep the bad and ugly (not that there all that much to begin with) off this.<br><br>Bottom line here is, I post on what I see with regards to the upcoming weather (I make my own outlook).  I make brief comments on my interests. I also take the time to correct any spelling (FB helps with that) and such.  FB was meant to be a big cut above My Space in that it was a site so professionals and semi-pros could interact.  It is a way to further (and thus inhibit) your career. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mrtstorm]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 17th 2010 10:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/01/15/anonymous-employee-reveals-ugly-details-of-facebooks-inner-work/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/01/15/anonymous-employee-reveals-ugly-details-of-facebooks-inner-work/</guid><description><![CDATA["Former Employee" of Facebook?  Whistleblower?  So what, he's not saying anything that any other employee of Facebook would not openly tell you.<br><br>My point is everyone knows that you NEVER put on Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn etc anything you don't want put on TV or local newspaper.  <br>If you want your life to be private, YOU keep it that way.<br><br>No matter where you work, IT has a way to look at where you search and what you do on your computer.<br><br>Why is it a surprise that Facebook saves information?

Do you think, for a second, there anything ABOUT YOU we don't know?  If you have a phone, WE KNOW and friends of friends who work for the company DO let their friends know stuff about you!  Don't be a fool. Someone, wants FaceBook's popularity to diminish so they can profit... When used with COMMON SENSE, which seems to have left this country/the world, FaceBook is the greatest way to communicate with friends and loved one ALL OVER THE WORLD.  You have to trust somebody right?  Or live in a bubble and have no entertainment whatsover, no fun. Afraid to breath... Pleeeeze stop the nonsense!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[lacubanisima]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 17th 2010 7:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/01/15/anonymous-employee-reveals-ugly-details-of-facebooks-inner-work/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/01/15/anonymous-employee-reveals-ugly-details-of-facebooks-inner-work/</guid><description><![CDATA[WOW, big suprise......

I hate Facebook its gives me MORE problems than enjoying the use of it.   I'm so glad I use my Professional network - Linked In .  Way better - Linked In Security is five times better than Facebook.  Facebook is a weak site when it comes to security.  People love it because of the social events of chatting - nice until they find out people are stealing thier identity or taking thier personal information.  Till this day I can't understand why people use Facebook particularly when they KNOW Facebook has a security problem - they still use it.  What a bunch of morons!  Well if you have Facebook and had problems - all I have to say is: YOU DESERVE IT FACEBOOK IDIOTS!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 17th 2010 8:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/01/15/anonymous-employee-reveals-ugly-details-of-facebooks-inner-work/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/01/15/anonymous-employee-reveals-ugly-details-of-facebooks-inner-work/</guid><description><![CDATA[Does anyone know any information about the mini-chat window?

I will never sign up for an account on one of those websites, you're only asking for trouble.  Look at all the government, professional people, new job applicants, students that have gotten in trouble because of what they posted and subsequently been unable to remove on websites like this.  You're turning over all rights to your privacy when you set up a profile on one of these sites.  And check out the article this was written about in, they called him an "unnamed snitch," and a "shadowy interviewee" and stated "Facebook has expectedly and DESERVEDLY retaliated..."  Who wrote this article, a Facebook executive?  If you're going to cast aspersions on the whistle-blower why don't you write about something else idiot? ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kelly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 17th 2010 10:28AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/01/15/anonymous-employee-reveals-ugly-details-of-facebooks-inner-work/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/01/15/anonymous-employee-reveals-ugly-details-of-facebooks-inner-work/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm a bit confused, I thought everyone wanted complete contact with everyone all the time? The results will have many people's "private" information spread out alot. I find it OFFENSIVE that some people honestly think that they can put all sorts of pictures and commentary on their "social networking site" and expect ONLY things they want ONLY certain people to see? Its like these idiot HS girls who dress up like prostitutes in malls and complain because the boys TREAT THEM LIKE WHORES.....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[S321Saint]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 17th 2010 10:19AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
