Okay, so supposedly I forgot to do something that told fb to keep the ** out of my business.

I set all preferences to "me only", i.e. nobody else can see anything I do or take me anywhere I don't want to be. But I missed that somehow ...

Guess I'll go check.


... nope, can't find a single thing to that effect.

Ha ha. No. It seems it's nothing I did or didn't do at all.

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=1a1b15fdb79a6de6&hl=en

Q: When I first joined facebook, a few years ago, I allowed it to access my gmail account to suggest friends. Today I noticed that it was suggesting someone who has no connection to me other than that he has emailed me at gmail recently (but I only recently met him, I definitely did not know him when I allowed facebook access) Facebook did not show any reason why it was suggesting this person. ...

an A: Just my theory, but I believe that if your email address is in another person's address book and they choose to allow Facebook to access their information, then that person will also show up as a suggestion on your account.


It wasn't me, it was her.

So the lesson is: use a completely virgin email address when signing up at facebook, and use it for nothing else! Because you can't trust any of your idiot Gmail correspondents not to violate your privacy.

-- edit -- or correspondents via any email address, it's a question of what's in their address book, not what your email address is.

Might that explain Syvia's phenomenon?


Another Q/A saying the same thing:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=5daef0fedd56b720&hl=en

Q. When I am in contact with someone through Gmail, Facebook immediately suggests them as a friend. I find this to be extremely invasive and have scoured my Facebook settings and the Facebook help center to see where this permission may have been granted. I have NEVER given my Gmail password to Facebook to suggest friends or anything, though my gmail account is set as my contact email. Does anybody know anything about this?

an A: You may not have shared your information, but each of those people who are associated with you were given the opportunity to share their wealth of contact information which would possibly include your email address. It is suggesting you to them because they have your address shared via their account.

hadn't seen this site before, I saw a reference to it on the f t f wall on fb


www.mundia.com


with a comment from someone else:-
I find it a bit naughty that Ancestry have copied all the public trees over to the Mundia site, without telling anyone. I wonder what the thinking is behind the Mundia site!



These 2 were posted back in December


........... and the Mundia site does have the ancestry logo down at the bottom


it is apparently free or rather

"basic membershp is free. Premium membership is free during beta"



anyone else heard about it??
