but then again that's one of the primary concepts of
social networking. sure, it might be ridiculous but that's the main point. note that - as far as i know - most sites of that kind don't allow you do this either. on facebook, you can choose not to display your friend's list to people that are NOT on your friend list, so i don't see where the privacy issue is: if you don't want people to see your friend list, just don't add them as your friends.

you're still able to do this; and no one compells you to even put your real name on? i mean, if they don't want to be known to be on here, why not just use a nickname? in fact, i myself was under the name "Aurélien SyrFox" for a while on there because i did not want that everyone knowing my real name could find me (eg my father, who i've not seen in 3 years now and don't want to see again, yet is on facebook), so only people "in the know", knowing my nickname could find me. now i don't give a fuck, though, which is why i'm under my real name. and i'm actually practically sure you can make yourself invisible - not totally invisible, but not displaying your name. sometimes when i look at someone's friend list some people would appear with blank pics and no name at all - and you can't add them as friends themselves. i don't see a major privacy issue there.

I don't like how google brings up facebook pages, either.

well i don't know, but nearly every app i use asks me to confirm whether or not i want them to publish something on my profile. it must depend on the app, though, and i do not use a lot of them anymore so i'm not quite sure if that's still the same.
i agree twitter is useless though, except for news and stuff maybe. i don't see the point in making one to tell your life.
