<p>I saw something about that in the newspaper- it is someone who is trying to set up a separate “service”, and then I imagine they sell all that info. The only one they can really tell you who is viewing your page, is the person who is wanting to profit by it.

<p>One piece of personal data I refuse to post on FB is my birthday. That, along with your SSN, is all that is needed for idenity theft. Even for websites that ask for a birthday, I use the first day of the month I was born and an incorrect year (I actually make myself older!). </p>
<p>I don’t mind posting schools I graduated from or old employers, as I have enjoyed reconnecting with friends I haven’t seen or heard from in 10-25+ years. </p>
<p>Best odd FB recommendation was for a very liberal, gay friend. She was recommended ‘Conservate movement’ or something like that. We all had a good laugh and wondered what could have possibly have triggered that, as I would classify her as my most liberal FB friend.</p>
<p>It seems like it would not be too difficult for facebook to track views by signed in users; however, as pointed out above they say that they don’t. I am of two minds on this. I can see that you might want to know who looked at your page, and that you might want to just look at people’s pages without contacting them to be a friend. I think the worst thing would be that people knew you looked them up, but you thought it was not obvious…</p>
<p>That’s just another reminder that you should assume that any information you put on the Internet will be available to anybody in the world, forever. (Also check out the Wayback Machine, which lets you look at what was on websites in the past, even if they’ve been changed or deleted.)</p>
