Facebook

The other day, I was watching House. One of the doctor's (Chase) had his facebook account hacked by some girl he had a 3-some with. The girl posted fake pics of his 'ahem' and posted many things up that hurt his reputation. Major ouch.

So this brings me to my rant of the day. Facebook....why it scares me so. Imagine if you have over 1000 friends and your facebook account gets hacked. Heck, Mark Zuckerberg also got his own account hacked recently (http://idhacker.com/2011/01/27/mark-zuckerberg-account-hacked/) . Now you'll have to contact that 1000 people on your friends list to explain that you no longer are in control of your facebook account. What is the likelyhood you have all those people on your Facebook's email address or phone numbers? The thing is, a growing number of people have been using Facebook now as their primary and sometimes ONLY means of communication. I hope this rant is read by some people so that people just wake up! It's time to wake up, facebook is a fun place but it's not a place to do business, not a place to keep all your contacts! Simply, it should be a secondary or tertiary place of communication.

Once it's hacked, you're toast!
