LiveJournal will not let you make a comment without making you watch an ad. What's up with that?
I went back on Facebook. I had sworn off it for a while because of the privacy scandal. And sure enough, this time, when I signed up, it knew all my writerly friends. How did Facebook know the names of my friends? Huh? I specifically DID NOT let them access by email. Anyway, of course I friended everyone.
Creepy, but convenient. The story of our age.

Legal but creepy.
I also think it does link association. If anywhere on my wall I have linked to a post with your name on it, FB will offer up me as a friend.
Legal but also creepy. And kinda cool.
LiveJournal is crap. Period. A crap sandwich warmed up in the microwave, frozen, and then warmed back up again.
