I won't touch facebook. "how much privacy appears to be available to
users" - I get the impression that privacy is denied to non-users! How
ironic - in order to tell facebook not to track you it's not enough just
to have nothing to do with it - you have to create an account and give
it loads of info you don't want it to have, in order to tell it not to
use that info!

One reason I trust Google much more than facebook - at least on Google
everything *defaults* to *closed*, rather than defaulting wide open!

Cheers,
Wol
