I get irked that most apps are publish all or nothing. I'd like to publish pics on fb, but I don't want my feed to show what images I like or who I follow. That's just spam to others in my feed. I suppose that's the price to pay.

@mekk why? Don't want you mom to know about the teen BBW BBC anal destruction cumpilation you've been watching. C'mon, loosen up. Here's a great song about that:

I always check facebook after watching porn to make sure I didn't share anything

The simple solution is to just not allow them to post to your Facebook timeline in the first place. In every instance it's a simple step.

- No, but it adds up, and i'm never entirely sure what does get published.jagara
- you are exaggerating, it's a simple two click per thing, and only if you have 5,000 would you be spending much timemonospaced

what's the solution? to have an email account per social network? I don't think I'd want half the stuff I watch on YouTube to be broadcasted to my facebook account... I'm much more liberal than I care for my family to know about. I have a gmail account that I use for YouTube, and I have my everyday email account attached to facebook.
I do not spotify, is it better than pandora? one in the same? I never see pandora posts on facebook.
- spotify is different than pandora in that it's music on-demand, with playlists. almost like a free itunesmonospaced

probably did somehow - but not consciously aware, or just not paying attention. i had to sign in with my amazon account to activate it out of the box, but then everything was all right there and ready to go.
i think what bothered me was that amazon seems to have all my login info for fb, t, etc.

^ More about this, please. Did you opt-in for any of that? That's a huge invasion of privacy, and just imagine if they'd linked everything to the wrong Bjl Adams.

i picked up a new kindle fire the other day, when i pulled it out of the box, it had all my social networks pre-loaded and signed in...
was a bit put off with that.

@albums Well, if a service has the option of logging in with an email adress/standalone account, I use that. If i want to use Spotify, for instance, login through Facebook is mandatory now. And yes, privacy settings can be tweaked to not publish anything. But it's not always very transparent, what you do and do not publish ins some way.
I guess it's a symptom of social media (still) being in its relative infancy.
And i know privacy is a rising concern these days, not only for me.
- you just open Spotify prefs and click one fucking button, it's not a pain, it's one damn settingmonospaced
- you don't even have to touch privacy settings to hide spotifymonospaced

My problem is not the option af sharing. My problem is that it's the default setting.

*Too
It's all opt in, no one is forcing you to do it. I still log on with an email address everywhere & only have my twitter linked to my instagram. past that, I'm not too offended but I understand your concern,

Oh, and this rant has a lot of typos. The product of caffeine and rage.

Aren't you getting tired of all the fuckin' services on the web being tied together?
It's practical in some shitty facebook updates-for-everything-you-do-ty... way, but argh.
If i don't read the small print and spend hours tweaking you privacy settings, what music i listen to on spotify gets published on Facebook.
All the other Gmail users in my personal network are now made aware of all my embarrassing Youtube likes/favorites/activity. Which are my business. Currently, I'm addicted to http://www.youtube.com/user/ashe… . Weird to some people, who comment on it. But it's my business, so FUCK THE FUCK OFF!
My point is, "make all activity on all services you use public for radom person you ever met" is the default setting these days.
Grrr.
