Facebook Published Your Cell Phone’s Contacts

Ryan’s kind of paranoid about his phone number now because Facebook went ahead published everyone’s cell phone contact list. Essentially, Facebook took all the contacts in a person’s cell phone and put them in the contacts section of their profile on Facebook.

(To see for yourself, under Account Setting click “edit friends”, then on the upper left corner click “contacts”.)

Stan’s really upset about it because some of his contacts aren’t even on Facebook and their number was put out there.

Rich wonders if this is enough to get someone to quit Facebook. Ryan, Nicole, and Stan says it definitely makes them think about. Nicole thinks is just a little too far into someone’s privacy.

Are you upset that Facebook published your cell phone contact list? Is it enough to make you leave the social network?

Is Stan Taking His Facebook Friend Request Too Seriously?

Nicole saw Stan freaking out the other day when someone, who he considered a friend, didn’t respond to his Facebook friend request. Stan was so upset that he was about to call his friend to give him a hard time about it.

Rich and Ryan thinks Stan’s overreacting about the whole situation. What do you think? Do you think Stan is overreacting? Would you be upset if your friend or acquaintance in real life isn’t your virtual friend?

When Was The Last Time Something That Was So Hot, Quickly Became So Not?

MySpace just laid off about 50% of it’s staff this week, after laying off 30% of their staff last June. We’re wondering how something that was so immensely popular went downhill so fast. People obsessed about MySpace almost as much as they do about Facebook and Twitter now. However, the amazingly glittery custom profile graphics probably made sure to keep adults away. Regardless, why the heck is it even still around?!? We don’t even know anyone that is still on it. Do you?

What is something that you remember to have been so popular, but fizzled out just as quick as MySpace did?

How Far Have You Gone To Save Your Phone?

There was an article recently about a guy who dropped his phone in the toilet and was so desperate to save it that he got his arm stuck in the toilet. Rescue crews had to come save him.

Nicole’s scarred herself to save her phone as well, literally. One night, while she was rather intoxicated, her phone somehow ended up on the other side of a fence and Nicole thought she could climb over and get it. Well it didn’t go so smoothly and now and she has scars running down one leg to remind her of it.

Rich remembers his buddy Covino telling him how he once dropped his phone in the toilet and then went to the grocery store to buy rice. Why? Because apparently if you put your wet phone in a bowl of dry rice the rice will absorb the water and your phone will be as good as new. The best part about that story though is the fact that Rich asked the woman at the grocery store where they could find the “rice for your cell phone” as if there was a specific kind.

How far have you gone to save your cell phone? How far would you go?
