the next facebook scam viral website: FRIENDS REVEALED

OK, I have spent about 5 minutes playing with this, and this is already really fucked up. I have to answer 50 questions about people to find out what other people said about me for questions like...

WHAT THE HELL. BAN THIS APP.

Interesting, the database of info about any one person will not be comprised of their representation to the net (what they are willing to share) and their behavior (what they point to, where they have digitally traveled) also included will be what others perceive them "to be" or "like" or "participate in" or any other meta data created by others.
Insightful app in that it shows a purpose to uncover info about individuals under complete guise.
I wonder how far FB will let this go. The "credits" side of it suggest a long way.
A real quandry about being associated with those who participate with these 3rd party apps as the controllers of the apps can get a reflection of someone with out the approval of that someone.
The horse may be well out of the gate here.

BAN THIS PROFILING

In case you answered questions about any of your friends and allowed the app to auto-publish, they'll actually auto-publish to random friends' walls (not just the person you answered a question about).
