A truly fascinating book

I was at the public library this morning and picked up a new book by
the name of ---

"I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did: Social Networks and the
Death of Privacy" by Lori Andrews

http://www.amazon.com/Know-Who-You-Are-What/dp/1451650515

It is concerned with social networking (Facebook) and it is very
interesting. I hate to overuse adjectives -- but the book is
fascinating.

I'm only in the first chapter and I have already run across some
troubling thoughts that had never crossed my mind before. The
implications are very scary.

For one, the author points out that with 700 million members,
Facebook is the worlds third largest nation.
