Hmm. I'm not sure what I really think about Facebook. As with a lot of social networking tools, I see the pros and cons--and the biggest con, to me, has to do with people getting accustomed to having their "private" information on view for all to see. It's not that anything will necessarily be done with this information (besides, of course, what we've already seen with Facebook and tracking), at least on the face of it--but, it could lead to potential abuse down the line (at a point when most citizens may be so used to displaying personal details online that no thought of privacy infringement even enters their mind). It may just be a first step in this direction. Scary.
But, having said this, I am not unaware of the fact that I'm a bit guilty of this, too (with my blog info--books I'm reading, restaurants I like, etc.).
