Isnt it just a little ironic that you want to use facebook to spam people you know, but you find something creepy about facebook doing the same thing to you?

Here's what's creepy. I'm attempting to create a Facebook account (yes, this is revelant to the forum...) because someone turned me onto a really cool marketing thing you can do with it. I'm not set up fully yet but there's this long list of potential friends. Add Friends, with names and pictures. At first I thought it was like MySpace, Tom etc. some bunches of folks that look for newbies. Then I realized that some of the names were familiar. David Bovill, for example. David Bovill pops up as a potential friend, someone I might know. How does it know that? How the heck does it know that? How does it know about you guys? I haven't put any info in except my name and birthdate. Nothing else. I was thinking maybe it does an internet search of forums I'm in or something. Then I see that it lists folks I've sold software to. My customer list. Say whaaat? As I type this I'm thinking that somehow it's seeing my saved emails. That's the only explanation for it. That's scary. Big Brother. I can see Big Brother wanting a piece of it. Geez Louise! I'm waffling. I really want access to this cool marketing tool. But lordy! Read an article in Wired magazine just the other day about the war between Facebook and Google for internet dominance, and how Facebook might win. I believe it!
