“Facebook users’ privacy (John McCrea and Joseph Smarr from Plaxo told Jeremiah Owyang that Facebook users explicitly consent to share their email addresses but I think there is more to it than that), Facebook is not quite as pure as the driven snow.”

That’s the biggest crock of horse stuff I’ve ever heard. Users (i.e. me and lots of other disgruntled users) did not give anyone permission to give away my details. I gave my details to Facebook, through which I ‘connected’ to friends. That is *not* the same as giving consent to share my email address Paul. I can only assume that like me when I wrote my first post, you haven’t thought about this for long enough to realise just how bad this situation really is.

Plaxo is harvesting details that don’t belong to them or the people through which they are getting them from.

You should look around a little more to see how many high profile people are really pissed about Scoble and Plaxo.
