Re: Are Facebook’s privacy settings working?

Hi Anand. I just conducted a search on Google using the search phrase: "limited profile privacy function on Facebook does not work" and your post came up. I, too, have discovered that Facebook's privacy settings don't work. I was horrified to learn that everyone can see/read everything on my wall and everyone can see my photos.
I had even instructed my daughter on how to set her privacy settings so that her teachers who had asked to be her friend couldn't see everything. I had created limited profiles for casual acquaintances and work colleagues. I thought everything was working just fine until one day, a friend who was on a list without access to my wall posts, suddently commented on a photo that I posted on my wall. Alarmed, I asked my daughter to put me on a limited profile list and I did the same with her. To our surprise, the limited access settings we customized did not work. I have also tested privacy settings with friends. Again, they do not work. So, for those of trying to conceal things from your boss or your mom, or your teachers, BEWARE. They can see everything!

Re: Exchange Business Cards on Twitter – @TwtMyCard

I like the idea but I have a concern. The data is not protected, even when set to private. With the e-mail address in clear text I am afraid that bots will harvest it and start spamming me.

It would be nice if the user receiving the card is required to follow twtmycard, and then they would get a DM with a link to my contact card with a pin code.

If I, as the sender, could set the pin code to expire in in say a week, that would be awesome.

I am excited. I have been following your blog on MSDN for a considerable amount of time now and at times asked why did you post things like David Blaine street magic, etc.

Enjoy the freedom from Community Server's limitations!

Another cool app for that is Bump on the iPhone.

WOW!!!

I can't believe it..

I've been trusting using facebook privacy settings to protect my privacy all along.

Then after reading all the fuss, I decided to test it using 2 dummy test accounts..

BAM!!

I'm having the same problem!!

I've created the dummy accounts, then put them on a limited profile list. But those accounts can still see my photos, wall post, etc!!

Shocking!

This is a major privacy breech!!

Facebook truly needs to fix this ASAP before the word spreads!

People aren't going to trust using facebook anymore, if this doesn't get fixed!!

If your aim is to look pretty without doing much, the iPhone software is definately light-years ahead.

For any *other* goal, Windows Mobile is definately looking great! I use an HTC Fuze, and it's great. Windows Mobile has never given me any trouble (I have never had to reboot).

Looking forward to the next releases!

Lots of luck in your new position. It's been a long time since I've had a phone with Windows Mobile on it. Perhaps you want to talk about Mobile at the Entrepreneurship Conference? We are going to have a mobile track. I just invited Mary Hodder; let's see if she says yes. She's doing Android app development, I believe:-)

I'm right there with you, AI. I moved my blog over to WordPress a couple years ago to dig into this little blog engine I keep hearing about - WordPress. More importantly, running WordPress on IIS7 and seeing how the stack plays out. I'll have to say that I'm pretty happy overall. This is in large part due to the prevelance of the LARGE WP community. I dealt with the importing of data from Community Server to WordPress. Although it wasn't trivial, slinging some of my nerd skills I was able to get the content pulled over and have been running smoothly ever sense. There where some hiccups along the way (did someone say permalinks?) but I perservered and have been satisfied ever sense. However... I'm a developer. I'm fickle. There may be a new shiny object that grabs my attention but for now it's WordPress on IIS7.

Very interested in the Apps roadmap and I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to discuss soon.

Good luck Anand!

I' m a .Net developer but currently developing on Android.

I'll definitely develop apps for the Windows Phone soon. I'm hoping they would work on ZuneHD too thru the OneApp platform.

Anand,

Which part of the app did you use unmanaged C++?

Congrats AI. This is a great move for you and I can't wait to see some of the new Windows Phone hotness. Get me something awesome on Verizon from MS and I'll be there in a heartbeat. Very interested in the Apps roadmap and I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to discuss soon.

Congrats again,
Kurt

The settings could be better, we will work more closely with them when they let us "invest" more!
