Remember last Tuesday when you scratched your arse…?
Your social media networks do.
Thanks +Burnley Wilkins for my continued paranoia induced sleep deprivation. 😉

Do NOT make the mistake of believing Google doesn't do this too…
Facebook Keeps A History Of Everyone Who Has Ever Poked You, Along With A Lot Of Other Data
Across the pond, European law grants citizens a “right to access,” meaning that companies have to provide a person with all of the personal data they have on them if they request it. An Austrian-based group called Europe v. Facebook has posted a couple of the reports compiled by the social networking giant everyone loves (and loves to hate).
Facebook doesn't forget pokesMost of you probably know that Facebook knows a lot about you. But did you know that if you were to print it out, it might take up about 880 pages?

Good share.
Is there anything in the PDFs that would make a 'man' pop his eyes out? 😉
I downloaded the PDF and true to their word, it is 880 pages long. Most of it is blacked out but you get the gist of what is in there. I think a biggie would be the chat sessions — which at the time you are doing them feels much more fleeting than a post or message. I would assume even after you delete it, it lives on in Facebook memory. My eyes didn't pop out, but if I read every page they may have fallen out.
I will now press the "Post comment" button here on Google+ to commit these words forever more to the Google archives…… 😉
Maybe it's time someone occupied silicon valley too… Hmmm… Google does have an office in Boston… lol
