"Facebook Wants To Read Your Mind"

http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1885010,00.html?xid=rss-business

This article poses an interesting new twist to old news. We all have experienced those status updates and "25 things" our facebook friends post. The article questions whether these things give us too much information about the person. Is facebook a means to read another's mind? I find that very interesting. In many senses, these networking sites have become a household name and for some, it is incredibly personal. Are there any limits to how personal facebook will get? I look forward to see where it goes. Will mind reading ever lead to mind control? the possibilities are endless, and because of that, it is quite scary.
