How to confuse a Facebook user

Read­WriteWeb, a pop­u­lar tech­no­logy web­site, has a page that ranks highly in Google’s search res­ults for “Face­book login”.

Check out the com­ments on the page. They’re filled with com­plaints from con­fused Face­book users who think that this is the new Face­book login page.

Quite clearly many people do not use book­marks, or simply type “facebook.com” in the address bar but instead they Google for what they’re after and click on the first res­ult assum­ing it is correct.

Time to ditch Facebook?

Have you ever thought it was a bit creepy that Face­book, a profit-driven organ­isa­tion, has such an intim­ate know­ledge of you, your friend­ships and fam­ily links? Ever con­sidered leav­ing Face­book because of such creep­i­ness? Maybe now is a good time.
