My facebook acount will be closed.  I don't need to use that site to keep in touch with my friends and family.  We use it for convenience but now any more.  If I wanted everyone to know my every move I would tell them.  Not everyone wants people to know where they are.  It is just not safe.  Don't tell me that I can control who sees my account either because I get numerous people in my facebook from time to time.  They tell me that "some settings slipped through the cracks when updates were made".  It only takes one "slip" for the wrong person to locate and make a victim of someone.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[morningglory]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 10th 2010 3:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Ups the Stalker Quotient, Adding Location-Based Updates]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/09/facebook-ups-the-stalker-quotient-adding-location-based-updates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/09/facebook-ups-the-stalker-quotient-adding-location-based-updates/</guid><description><![CDATA[My account will also be closed.

I don't need Facebook to keep in touch with anyone.  Furthermore, do I need everyone to know where I am.  It is not just a safety issue, but a privacy one as well.  Facebook needs to deal with the problems at hand, such as I had to remove 150 could be hackers last month, plus they also have application problems with the Adobe Reader.  They need to start preparing for lawsuits for the first victim will prove the point.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sandra]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 16th 2010 11:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Ups the Stalker Quotient, Adding Location-Based Updates]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/09/facebook-ups-the-stalker-quotient-adding-location-based-updates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/09/facebook-ups-the-stalker-quotient-adding-location-based-updates/</guid><description><![CDATA[Agree about not wanting that app on fb.

No myspace, no twitter either.<br>Way too much information being handed out by idiots who think it is cool to do so.

Let’s see, either at home or at work. Then you have the few that may be at a book store with a coffee area for example. Now, if you accepted the friend for whatever reason chances are most know you or you are part of a group that network together so, really what difference does it make where you are? Also, not hard to get someone’s ISP addresses especially if you have exchanged emails. Also, if you have put down your home town there is another give away. So, not sure what people’s beef is because someone will find where you are with no problem.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Blogzy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 10th 2010 3:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Facebook Ups the Stalker Quotient, Adding Location-Based Updates]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2010/03/09/facebook-ups-the-stalker-quotient-adding-location-based-updates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2010/03/09/facebook-ups-the-stalker-quotient-adding-location-based-updates/</guid><description><![CDATA[If I am to understand this correctly, if you have a facebook page and post a comment then your location will be reveled?
