I think that would be a lot less objectionable. If they proceed as advertised, and change to opt-in instead of opt-out, the program is over (because no one will knowingly opt-in to that). More likely, the change will be more legalistic...but most people "particpating" will still be doing so unaware. That is an ultimately fruitless...and possibly very damaging...path for Facebook to pursue. re; Beacon…why don’t they just do it in the form of “one of your friends recently bought”, instead of specifying exactly who.

I'd "drop you a line," but that link doesn't work, either. Just another note that none of your top menu items work. I’d “drop you a line,” but that link doesn’t work, either.
