Facebook Privacy Leak?

There are over 500,000,000 - yes that's over 500 MILLION people on Facebook, and apparently some entrepreneur claims to have captured information from the "public" parts of some 100 million Facebook profiles. More from CNN Video...

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg has been in and out of the news a lot over the past few  months about privacy settings in Facebook, and what information is "public" (i.e. crawled by Google and other search engine web crawlers) and what information is viewable to your friends in Facebook, etc.  But the fact remains, all those wall posts and pictures are being saved in the "cloud" and you really don't know what is being done or going to be done with it.  Maybe that's where the loopy smile is coming from on Zuckerburg's corporate bios page.

Remember folks, information is not only power, it's worth money.  End of story.
