a quick note to say--

[kaberett]

In which the Internet is creepy: I spent Thursday & Friday nights at facesfriend's place. At no point did I connect to an internet via my laptop; at no point did I search the 'net for directions; and my phone Doesn't Internet and is in no wise associated with either Google or FB accounts. Most of our IMing is via gchat or IRC. How, then, is it that when I rocked up on facebook a little while ago from the Oxford Tube, it asked me if I lived in Cambridge, London, or facesfriend's area of town? BECAUSE IT HAS NEVER ASKED ME THAT BEFORE and Thursday was at most the second time I have been to that neck of the woods in my life.

Oh, point.

(But not one that I'd expect Facebook to be unable to jump over at some point in the future. :P I trust them about as far as I can throw them.)

I wouldn't bet on it not knowing phone number as long as there are third parties who have facebook on their phones/using facebook as phone book, and those third parties have one's phone number and the email that facebook knows one by in a place that facebook can see.
