Facebook stalks you

So you know on facebook it has like "recommended friends" and shit. Today I got the infamous Aen as a recommended friend, which I thought was pretty cool. Then I wondered...how the fuck does facebook determine who they're going to put there? I thought it was based on a shared number of friends or shared interests. We share 0 friends, I live in Jersey, I listen to obscure prog bands, and I don't mention fuzz or anything on my page.

Unless...Facebook watches what you do after you leave facebook... :idk:

HOW DOES IT KNOW I KNOW HIM?!! I DON'T FEEL SAFE!! :facepalm:

No but srsly. :?:

I personally believe Facebook to be the work of the Devil. But then I'm an atheist so that kind of doesn't really make sense... :erm:

It is evil though. So it probably is stalking you. What's scarier - Facebook generally having a policy of stalking all it's users, or just YOU?? :eek:

It does. It actually has several websites in its tow that it either watch you, or something =, if you have a facebook, I recommend joining the groups:

-Things you didn't know about FACEBOOK.

-Petition: Facebook, stop invading my privacy!

That's not even as creepy as the advertisements.
Have you ever noticed that what you talk about in wall posts and such ends up appearing in the side-bar???
That's the one thing I hate about gmail, too.

I write a message and mention pedals or circuits, and sure enough, gmail's telling me to click on this builder or that who's advertising with them.
