By the way, besides being creepy, I'm not sure that Facebook's plan is so bad. Replacing annoyingly bad ads with better ads that know more about me is creepy, but at least the ads are better.
The way I explain Facebook's plan to non-techies, btw: Imagine you have a friend called Jenna that has a birthday next week. Now, whenever you visit say, Amazon.com, they'll have ads saying "Jenna's birthday is next week, why not buy her this nice book?". Creepy, but that's where we're headed.
