These people may have tried to look you up. Or they may have uploaded their entire address book to automate that process.

Facebook used to ask this too, to the point of "give us your e-mail password and we'll only download your address book".

thats the fun part. even if you try to be privacy-aware any dumb idiot around you can ruin that real fast.

not to mention all the business shits eager as hell to find places to hand over their video to in hopes of better targeting or understanding customers or whatever dumb bullshit phrase is in. "thanks for all of the footage from your stores. this customer may have frowned and has a satisfaction rating of 20% also we're cross referencing this with all the other videos we have access to thanks"

it's amazing how facebook managed to con every website into sticking their dumb 'like' buttons on their page. the sheer amount of data they collected through that would probably make even google's mouth water

goog analytics is probably in more places.

oh yeah. but facebook's whole point has been tying you and your family together directly, while google was more about just inferring those relationships and not like, making you list everyone you contact's relationship to you.



do love the implied equating between things like "very, very right" and poo poo like... maddow? daily kos???
