Hi, Wesley speaking, and I chose to comment on this article because I read the same article, and did my blog on the same thing, and all the other options weren't that interesting to me. Anyways I think it is very creepy how just anybody can get in your life in a way from the little information that you put on facebook. I still have my facebook I just made everything on it private because when I looked from the steps it told us to do all of mine was set to public so that must mean everybody must have got my info. But yea this was a very interesting article.
