It’s strange to hear from a service where people express their plans. Anyways, they told it would take “about an hour”, but that one hour has prolonged itself to 180 minutes by now. I’ll finally come to know today that how long one hour actually is, web hour that is. twit twit twit!

As I tuned it on and clicked for first tag of the day, a little message popped in asking me to enter personal info followed by a privacy notice that you can see in the graphic below. I already was a member so this info wasn’t needed I thought. Intention here would certainly be to get a checked box on privacy agreement declaring user’s willingness to share the private information (s)he enters. So, that was just the formality work to me.

I couldn’t notice any other changes as yet. May be it was an explicit privacy notice to its users that FaceBook needed from SocialMe. There may be some hidden privacy concerns so I’m not challenging FaceBook’s decision to suspend the application .

Never have thought of it as the one violating privacy policies, on contrary I was doubtful of couple of applications which have been adding significant to my email spam. I was disappointed of course but whatever being the reason we’d probably go with Facebook at that. Modern day social networking websites as Facebook are flooded of extensions and applications adding more value by introducing new features, introducing new ways for users to have fun and make best use of their time-waste activities.

Said application had got an interesting preposition of tagging users with keywords you’d think will fit on them. It was in a way similar to a famous activity on every other community on Orkut. That of “What do you think of the person below you”. It was a fun app as you could imagine however having fun at cost of privacy is not something everyone can afford. It was the first application whose removal I could witness and I am looking forward for few more apps getting removed from famous Social Network’s extension applications list.
