i actually think Beacon is a great idea, and i really like it. i use gamefly, and when they shipped a game awhile ago, an old friend saw it and sent me a msg, and we reconnected talking about the game that i got. not anything terribly useful, but neither is facebook really. it's a neat feature though. for those worried about privacy, my response to these things is always the same. if you don't want people to know about it, don't do it on the internet. why would you sign up for facebook if you dont want your personal information on the web? also, for those of you still complaining about the latest update to Beacon, he said it right in his post. Beacon will no longer collect data sent to facebook by vendors if you opt-out. thus, they will not continue to collect your data as they have in the past.
