Hi All!
This is a goofy question- But is there a way to put my address book (OSX 10.4.11) on Lock-Down?
Someone sent me an E-Mail telling me he joined Facebook. At the bottom of the E-Mail was a banner stating I should check out these other people I know on Facebook. There were a bunch of names & photos. So, big deal?
It occurred to me the guy sending me the E-Mail knows, nor has heard of, any of the people shown at the bottom of his E-Mail, but every one of them was in my address book. (I verified this with him) I think Facebook dove in and looked around! Nice of them to ask me first.
My Macbook has 2 profiles. I opened the E-Mail on the other profile (both Mail programs have this address set up). The other profile doesn't have any of these people in the address book, but they showed up anyway. Interestingly, I went to the ISP's site and checked my mail there. The people, plus someone I don't know or have in my address book were shown, like in my own mail.
Weird, Huh?
No big deal, but it just bugs me! Is there a way to keep Facebook and, I suppose anyone else, from looking around? Maybe Facebook needs some publicity about this snooping!
Thanks!
Paul
