Got rid of mine a few weeks ago.. no regrets. Miss talking to my buddies around the country, but hey, they all have email.

Thinking of doing that, too.

I really don't need 20 people posting the same daily bible passage, 10 more posting the thought for the day, 20 more posting every inane thing their kid does, 10 more posting stupid pictures of their grandkids, 10 more making idiotic comments about politics, and the ongoing useless chatter about Dancing with the Stars, American Idol and other crap on TV.

Then, of course, there is Steeler sunday where every play requires a reaction on FB...

Precisely the reason why I have about a third of my "friends" blocked on my news feed, and the Farmville requests and other shit blocked.

One of my FB friends made this status update:

Looking at new cars on line. Just curious. So I check out Chevy cruze and malibu. Ten minutes later, my phone rings and its a salesman from JN Chevy wanting to know if I would like a new cruze or malibu. I am trying to think If I have any friends that are car salesman. Hmmmm. If you are and your a Chevy dealer in Hawaii give me a call.

I suspect that he has his phone number either in his profile or one of his FB friends has it in their phone list, and FB provided that number to the Chevy dealer it thought was nearest to him based on his profile. Total bullshit on the part of Facebook...

I call bullshit. Would have heard about something that blatant by now.

And I've never been contacted by anyone other than friends when I've posted about buying/selling certain guitar-related instruments. The advertisements change, that's all that's happened. No new mail at my house or apartment, no phone calls, no e-mails. Just ads changing.

No, can't happen...yet.* I admin 6 different Facebook pages for an organization, and I can't have any basic access to profiles acting as the Page account. When you price a build on the manufacturer websites, they offer a local quote option and you have to fill all that information out. If you visit a local dealer's website specifically, you usually have to fill all that information out no matter where you go on the site after you get so deep. If you want to see what they'll give you as a trade-in for your current car, they make you fill all that info out.

Basically, if they think you're serious about looking at a new car by going deep enough on their site, they'll get all your information from you.

*The exception to this is if he looked at a dealer/manufacturer that has an actual Facebook App, because those can ask for access to your basic information, profile access, posting to your wall, etc. But he has to click "Allow" for that to happen. Basically, its either his fault for clicking "allow," or he filled out the info on a dealer/manufacturer website. Nothing nefarious happened.
