Facebook Wants Way Too Much Information
I was interested to see that Facebook has released a WordPress plugin. This would allow me to easily share content from this blog to my Facebook page.
I installed the plugin, and went to configure it, and, after creating an “app” on Facebook, saw the following:
Seriously? My mobile phone number? MY CREDIT CARD? WTF? Facebook, do you really think I’m giving you my credit card number?
Needless to say, I have deleted the plugin.

Facebook will be their own demise. Users will bolt at the first database breach. Facebook has way too much information on everyone.
Surely WordPress has a Facebook plugin?
(I use Typepad and that’s the scenario there: the blogging platform has the Facebook plugin, rather than me needing a Typepad plugin created by Facebook.)
Needless to say, I exited Facebook.
