Here is another one - wife hired some carpet cleaners to clean the carpets the other day. We dont know these guys, never met them before. My wife is surfing Facebook, and in the area where it says "Do you know this person" was both carpet cleaners profiles. Apparently, by my guess, Facebook was able to link them to my wife's account perhaps via the GPS proximity since those guys were close to us/in our house, Facebook thought that we might know them.
The fascinating part of all this is that some members will read this and say "I don't see the problem."

I'm not so much worried about NSA or FBI, I'm worried about JOE techie from Amazon wanting to hear the dirty talk between Mr and Mrs Smith.

I kind of like the idea of the tech. The convenience would be nice. Just as long as it didn't come from a power company. Maybe in future we can have the features with out having to accept any licensing terms.
