Facebook scary apps: being naive has a price

What the f&?%* !?!?

found on my facebook profile page :
‘Marie-Chantale added friends on flixster Movies’

I was not even online at 10h38! and i never added this app to my profile!

I think i forgot that facebook is “free”, or an exchange where the price i pay is to have my account and my information used for evil purposes. Damn, how naive is that.

    *Je pense* savoir pourquoi: probablement que l’ami en question t’a ajouté à 10h38. Si ça se trouve, il t’a pas ajouté, mais il a simplement ajouté l’application.

    Probablement par souci d’intuitivité/syntaxe, on a choisi cette forme-là plutôt de «Christophe, one of Marie-Chantale’s friends, added Flixter.» Après tout, ça ferait drôle de voir des updates de Christophe dans ta page…

    Quoiqu’on s’en fiche, de savoir que tes amis ont des applications communes avec toi. Ça serait donc marketing, pour pousser le «membership» de l’application…
