Facebook brings Microsoft Office support to inbox | |

Facebook confirmed on Monday that Microsoft Office Web Apps will be integrated into the social-networking site's new inbox product. At Facebook's press event in San Francisco to announce the overhaul of its messaging service, the company detailed how users can now view and share attachments on the site. Included on that list is the Microsoft Office Web Apps service, which means Facebook users will be able to open Word, Excel and PowerPoint attachments without having Microsoft's software installed locally. |

As long as there is an option to keep FB completely out of my environment I do not care.
What I am wondering is what happens if you replied to an email received from someone using a FB domain or even if you reply to someone else email and the recipient will receive it in FB. Will your email address, other data and even the content of the email itself be available to FB? This post was edited by Fritzly on Tuesday, November 16, 2010 at 09:56. |

I'd like to see two options in my router firmware:
1. Block ALL Facebook domain items & access. 2. Auto-Reply to Facebook friend requests: ________________________________________ The return string I supply for the auto-reply is not printable on a family forum :) |

Same here; I am so sympathetic with all these people so busy to put all their lives on line today just to so badly regret it ten years from now. This post was edited by Fritzly on Tuesday, November 16, 2010 at 21:23. |

| I fail to understand the disdain for FB or twitter. They both have their place as evidenced by the hundred+ million users each has, and the whole "I don't use..." thing sounds snobbish and elitist. I use FB to stay in touch with relatives, pics/vids of my kids, etc. There is nothing there that I could care about if it went public. I don't care if FB scoops up everything to better target me with ads since I don't ever see their ads. They can sell my email address to spammers and I won't see their spams. But, to me, the ultimate in WTF comes when I rail against the bad deeds MS has done for decades while most here think I'm a radical. But those same people get totally up in arms about FB selling their email address or letting Joe Public see their embarrassing pics, like it's some monstrous evil being perpetrated on mankind. |

My data is mine and I share it with whom I decide to do it. Joe Public has no right to snoop in my life. I do not need FB, I do not have any use for FB therefore I do not allow FB to make a profit out of me.
Simple as that. |

Facebook and Twitter are two things that, 10 years from now, people will smack themselves upside the head and say: "What the Fark was I thinking?"
We have major issues with privacy protection in this country right now. Corporate America is doing it's best to dissolve it. Law enforcement is doing it's best to dissolve it. The government is doing it's best to dissolve it. And now, the people themselves are doing their best to dissolve it. I fear the twitters and facebooks of the world are nothing more than a pre-conditioning in what's to come regarding the loss of privacy. If the people themselves don't want their privacy protected, then no one else sure as hell will. The Internet is indispensable these days. It is also extremely evil, if you let it be. You can laugh at this, ask how often someone polishes their tin-foil hat, etc... all you want. I say get back to me in 5-10 years. I don't think people will be laughing then, and it will be too damned late. |

#7: 10 years from now, people will smack themselves upside the head and say: "What the Fark was I thinking?"
Why would they do that? I mean, what would their motivation be for believing this? I'm sure there will always be a small percentage of folks who regret sharing something after the fact, but I doubt there will be some 'awakening.' The Internet is indispensable these days. It is also extremely evil, if you let it be. As a tool, the Internet is completely neutral. It's always people who tip the balance one way or the other. You can laugh at this, ask how often someone polishes their tin-foil hat, etc... all you want. I wouldn't do that to you and I'm sincerely interested in your opinion. |
