Yep, its not a nice thing at all. Go to CNN and sometimes you will see some of your facebook friends profile pics pop up... I "simply" run my own DNS server to black hole that crap.

If you care at all about keeping your personal information private you should never ever ever use facebook for anything.

I log out of facebook when I'm done with it. I suggest everyone else does the same.
