No, while I have been away from Facebook I have been enlightened to a new 'discovery', if you will, relating to a little product called the Microsoft Outlook Social Connector (MSC). Anyway MSC lets you connect some various social networks into Outlook, giving you little snippets of social juice from people who you email with. After setting this up in Outlook 2010 at work I noticed something amazing! It was for sure showing me updates from people who are not connected to me on Facebook but are also not protecting their updates. Hah, yes with out 'friending' I now have access to my supervisors updates, many external partners, and lots of employees. My concerns about privacy are now being exploited for my benefit and/or amusement. The only downside to this entire thing is that my Facebook account has to be active... so I guess I will keep it active for at least until people wise up about their privacy settings.
