It appears to me that the cookies from Facebook are much more like intestinal parasites than any other analogy. The evidence to me is that Facebook collects every bit of data it can collect from every computer it can enter, including account numbers and passwords, but it never publishes it or shares it except by contract with clients, and it never discloses its clients. I am on the edge of slowly backing away from and terminating all Facebook linkages personally for my own security and that of all my family and friends. I personally find the Wiki format of Wikipedia very informative and non-threatening, although I have no idea about how to create or structure or update any wiki based resource system for our use. In the alternative, I have enjoyed the use of CoHo-L for several years and would far rather continue to use CoHo-L as a sole resource than to have any linkages through Facebook. When Facebook's ultimate breach and failure occurs, it will be resounding and have severe negative financial repercussions as well as personal compromises. Tom
