Facebook had a feature that showed your friends purchases you made on your timeline. People were pissed that their surprise gifts were ruined.

  Man unintended side effect, wow, I wonder how many other ones there were with things like this? Finding out someones sexual orientation when they order a sex toy?

  As the father of a toddler, even you saying the word Blippy (Blippi, officially), is sending shivers down my spine.

Wasn’t it Mint that did this? I remember this feature from a failed startup as well.
