Is anyone else upset that “instant personalization” is automatically “enabled” to share your info without you oking it first? Equally upsetting is there’s no way to contact and complain to FB personnel, offices, etc.-no “contact us”, but FB wants to let unwanteds contact me!

Love FB, but come on-respect your users!

Instant Personalization is not instantly enabled. You have to login to a partner site with you facebook credentials and allow the site to integrate your profile.

It’s not a bad idea considering the amount of time spent by most users on fb, average of 5 hours per user each day (Yikes!!). This option allows you to integrate your lifestyle on certain websites IF you choose to login with your facebook account info.

[...] Umiddelbar personalisering (Instant personalisation): Facebook tester ut et nytt program som lar et par tidlige samarbeidspartnere, Yelp, Microsoft og Pandora, se profilinformasjon når brukerne er logget inn. Ideene er at når du bruker tjenestene til et av de nevnte selskapene vil tjenesten kunne se Facebookprofilen din og bruke offentlig tilgjengelig informasjon fra den – navn, profilbilde, kjønn og navn på vennene dine, pluss alt annet du har gjort offentlig – til å gi deg en personalisert opplevelse.

I personally love the idea of the Instant Personalization!

Life is just too short to have it any other way. The thing about social media is that it is like a glass house. It allows people to see what is going on inside in a truthful way. It… creates a sense of Radical Honesty which is the key ingredient for progressive change.

I’m sure the technology will be abused by dishonest money hungry advertisers and businesses. But realistically those old ways of thinking are falling apart. Good old honesty, integirity, and value is overpowering old and confused systems.

It also plays well with Pandora which is a great new feature in my new navigation system, making life much easier! :)
