Editor's Notes
- #5: A party in your living room. Except your house is made of glass and located on Times Square. http://bit.ly/9t96pJ
- #7: 'Openbook' Lets You Search Facebook Status Updates, Even if You Don't Have an Account - http://youropenbook.org / Throw up test in already open browser: http://youropenbook.org/?q=leaving+for+vacation&x=0&y=0&gender=any The new connections fe ature s benefit Facebook and its business partners, with little benefit to you Lifejacking - These likes then show up on your profile and, of course, in your Facebook News Feed where your friends can see the link and click it, allowing the vicious, viral cycle to continue. ~ http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/likejacking_takes_off_on_facebook.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+readwriteweb+%28ReadWriteWeb%29 Koobface, an anagram of Facebook, is a computer worm that targets the Microsoft Windows users of the social networking websites Facebook, MySpace,[1] hi5, Bebo, Friendster and Twitter[2]. Koobface ultimately attempts, upon successful infection, to gather sensitive information from the victims such as credit card numbers. It was first detected in December 2008 and a more potent version appeared in March 2009
- #8: Facebook used to be a place to share photos and thoughts with friends and family and maybe play a few stupid games that let you pretend you were a mafia don or a homesteader. It became a very useful way to connect with your friends, long-lost friends and family members. Even if you didn’t really want to keep up with them.

- #10: It's an ideal target for identity thieves, who could use it to obtain more information about you and potentially gain access to your bank or credit card account
- #11: Some tools to help: http://www3.untangle.com/saveface A firewall and spam filter company called Untangle launched a tool on called SaveFace , which takes the form of a browser bookmark utility and sets as many Facebook profile elements as it can--contact information, friend lists and connections, wall posts--to "friends only." an independent developer released on Monday a similar tool called ReclaimPrivacy.org, which scans a Facebook member's privacy settings, flags profile elements that may be unexpectedly public, and, like SaveFace, can reset them. Both applications are open source.
