 Facebook open graph API is now available. This means that Facebook and other websites can use our social information to customize each visitor's experience. If we "like" the movie Fired Up on IMDB it will show up automatically on Facebook for your friends to see and for other partnering websites to use our data to customize what we see based on our "likes" and preferences. Everything is becoming personalized for us. By using one site aka Facebook, people become the center of the web, and it intertwines us more into this apparatus. Is this a bad or good thing? Is it unsafe for Facebook and partnering websites to know so much?
