Another concern I have with Facebook is them sharing your personal data with advertisers & web tracking companies . - Scott


Yes Scott, exactly why I have not yet joined up. Although I have to say, talking to m8's out here, that a lot of musos are signing up, and using it as a free advertising portal for upcoming gigs, the sale of CD's etc etc..

Its sort of like the current version of sticking posters on light-poles and shop-fronts that I guess we all used to do back in the day.

Surreptitiously sneaking out at 2AM to get our "message" out ahhh the memories!!!

But yes, as I say its becoming very popular now. I ahve been considering more lately as they (FB) claim to have cleaned up the whole security angle.
