"Openbook" site lets you search Facebook for embarrassing public information
( http://www.nnsquad.org/archives/nnsquad/msg03623.html )
Here's a site that could be good for *hours* of "enjoyment" collecting
all sorts of nasty tidbits on Facebook users. Just enter your search
query and it's "fun, fun, fun" thanks to Zuckerberg's anti-privacy machine.
Criminals might find it useful in all sorts of ways. How about
searching for "on vacation"? Plus, it might make a dandy automatic
blackmail lead generating system.
Openbook itself suggests the following potentially embarrassing
searches as examples:
cheated test
don't tell anyone
rectal exam
HIV test
control urges
lost virginity
playing hooky
Now that's "connecting and sharing with the people in your life" -- even
the people you don't know -- YET.
