Why would anyone sync their real life with Facebook? :D

MOST Facebookers do exactly that. :icon_e_sad:

I got out very quickly and posted this thread here: http://www.gatefans.net/gforums/showthread.php/3019-OMG-I-am-so-leaving-Facebook%21?highlight=leaving+facebook

This is not the end of it. Facebook is readying a phone of their own, manufactured by HTC code named the "Buffy". Not only will it sync everything, but it will be location aware and it will be able to post information about you on your Wall in real time The Timeline feature is just the kernel of where they are going with it. Facebook and Google are both doing invasive things, but Google is far more manageable and they seem to respect giving users the ability to COMPLETELY opt-out of any tracking. Facebook and Apple are not going to let you decide what gets synced or tracked, they will only inform you it is happening (maybe).

Facebook wants access to your email and your conversations. Google already has it. :)
