The 'thinking' of some people is dumbfounding. The article talks about how the IRS is using all the info on Facebook, MySpace, etc. to track down tax dodgers. I have to say hooray for the IRS. What a ridiculously simple way to gather info. Putting aside the fact I couldn't possibly care less what someone is doing every 10 minutes of their life, I have quite a few people tell me how secure their info is because 'friends' have to be approved, and IM is 'only' between us! I showed my wife just how insecure these sites were, and thankfully, she is now much more cautious about what she will write to anyone through the sites.
