Morning - with ref to the thread on Mums with Wild Imaginations, a couple of ladies mentioned a lollipop website, and talked about taking pics of their children down from facebook. Is it something we should be aware of? It got me thinking, all my photos are supposedly restricted to friends only, but I am now wondering if I am being naive and atually photos could be accessed by anyone...if so, i am going to remove all mine sharpish!
any insights by more tech savvy mums would be welcome! thanks

You can read about the project here by the way, if you dont want to 'like' the site: :-) http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2011/10/18/take-this-lollipop-and-get-your-very-own-creepy-facebook-stalker/

Was it something to do with the viral campaign 'takethislollipop.com'? It draws info from your facebook profile to create a unique 'user experience'. Not that new, marketing campaigns have been doing this for a little while now, but this one does go some way to scaring you into not having an online life! PS you have to 'like' it or visit the site to get the experience (although having read about it i dont think id want it, thanks!), it doesnt randomly suck your facebook info from the vapors.
