About that Facebook and Twitter thing...

[rabidsamfan]

I'm not going to defriend anybody over linking to the facebook or twitter account unless the comment deserves it, but I'm not happy about the whole notion. I dislike Facebook's ever evolving "privacy" policy intensely, and only have an FB because of my mom and a few friends. You may have noticed that if you're in my style I've hidden the ticky boxes. (If you'd like to do the same go here:

and enter:

.b-repost-item {display:none}

in the box called custom stylesheet and then save.



If you'd like to give some feedback to LJ about your feelings on the subject, go here:

for a poll and some links.

The pingback thing doesn't bother me so much.

ETA: I can't take credit for the script! I got it from a FOAF in a locked post. (Who I am about to ask if I can credit directly...) But it was so brilliant I had to share it.

Thanks for the tip. That was definitely their worst idea so far. I have a facebook, but mainly because of peer pressure at university (and because it is easy to keep in contact with the uni people) but that doesn't mean I want to share everything about my life with them. And my LJ is a lot more personal than FB.

Yeah, my LJ is a lot more personal than my facebook too. Wish I could take credit for the script, but I got it from a FOAF.
