Social networking?

[heybabe]

I'm not usually on ML, I'm popping in from H&F b/c this seems like one of the faster boards...

Not sure if this has already been discussed, but just wondering about the social networking part of proboards? If you go under Profile, there is a tab called social networking that allows you to link your Facebook, etc & post things from here to there.

I have no intention of linking a damn thing to my fb & my real name, but this seems like what TN was trying to do. Even though I presume my real name wouldn't show up, it still makes me nervous. Does this bother anybody else? Anybody want to start a thread & do a test & see what shows up when you link a post to fb?

you can link anything to facebook...you could link the nest to facebook.... I am not sure what you are concerned about.

Concerned about any personal ie real info being available. But I guess as long as my profile info is fake it doesn't matter. I guess I just don't like the idea of someone else linking one of my posts to their fb for whatever reason. Nothin' I can do about it I guess.

But they could do that on the Nest too, nothing to stop them. It's no different here.

Yes, exactly. And with how well the nest functions, it seems it might accidentally end up on FB even unintentionally, you know? I don't care what a site offers, as long as I have the option of not using it, and I'm not afraid of a massive cock up on the part of the site.
