i think when you're on certain websites and you make a purchase, you have the option to opt-out of the information being posted on facebook. which is lame...cuz it should be an opt-in option if anything.
i guess they match up your name and email or something?

It was weird. I logged on to AIM for the first time in a month, and I got an IM from facebook updating me on one of my friend's status. The funny thing, I never knew that friend's IM s/n (I never gave him mine) and I never gave facebook my IM s/n.

Abu Hazim replied, “Because you have built and established this world and you have destroyed your Aakhirah, so you hate to go from what you have established to what you have destroyed.”
