I bought movie tickets online the other day and I was disturbed to find that the movie ticket website (fandango) posted my recent purchase on my Facebook profile. When did this become a minute by minute detailed account of my actions? How do these things become approved without my knowledge? My life is now an advertisement scheme? I feel that the power of these networking sites is being abused by the media. It seems like such an insignificant event but I disliked that there are "alliances" that are commentating on my life. When will all of my endeavors be documented for the world to see? Will I be able to choose privacy? Is it possible without social isolation?

How did it post to your facebook account? Thats really strange and it seems like a breach of privacy. I'll have to check mine, b/c I did the same thing!
