Where has all the privacy gone?

I am not a very private person. Of course I do have secrets (who doesn’t?); stuff that I’m not too comfortable sharing with everybody. But even then, I must say that I’d rather “share” than “stock”. For someone who’s like an open book, this has been rather unsettling. The way Facebook tracks my every move! You know what I mean, right?

From what I am commenting on to what I’m reading... I’m going straight to the second one—what I’m reading. C’mon now! Why would anybody be interested in what I’m reading, that too on any random site! Ok, Ok, so if I was reading something on Facebook and that comes up in the Tickr (or whatever s*** that is called), I can live with that (I think). But why the hell is Fb stalking me on Yahoo? Now I could be reading on fashion, beauty, lifestyle, kids, relationships, sex, movies, books and whatever the heck, Fb is right there, looking at me with its beady eyes, reporting my “activity” back to my Facebook friends! Get a life, Fb!!!

The funniest thing here is (if you can even call it funny), I get to see that side of a person, I never thought existed. So when a classmate from college, who then looked like she would end up becoming a nun (or take up some such equivalent job), reads “50 things to do sexually before you die”, I sit back…and laugh. And then I get angry. This just isn’t fair, you know. Whatever happened to privacy???

I’m technically weak—what I mean is I’m not sure if I can even turn this option “off”, so that people don’t see the 'sleaze' in me who reads about how get an orgasm or how to look sexier than your best friend (:P). But jeez, this is quite disturbing. Have our social networking needs stooped so low? Makes me wonder how long before a distant relative discovers my deepest, darkest reading habits…sigh :(
