If you're in a tizzy about privacy and Facebook, then you'll love this piece on Valleywag, talking about how Mark Zuckerberg dives into data on users, and analyzes their behavior. By examining friend relationships and communications patterns, he was able to predict breakups and hookups in advance, with about 33% accuracy. (Personally, I don't think that's much better than a Magic Eight Ball.)
Anyway, for a better more sane view on Facebook privacy ridiculousness, we suggest you consider Robert Scoble's view or enjoy Bill Baker's exploration.
