Funny how being just a few days blogging is like being a *weeks* late, huh? :)

Anyway, it sounds like a lot has been said about Facebook’s Beacon doing The Seemingly Right Thing by making Beacon 100% opt out, with a surprising amount being said by some of the larger mainstream media organizations.

Its late, but I think its worth mentioning that Mark Zuckerburg’s mea culpa doesn’t directly address the troubling evidence that Beacon transmits data to Facebook, irrespective of whether you’re logged in.  Which leads one to wonder even if you’ve opted out of Beacon, whether Facebook is still harvesting your data, as data is *still* sent to Facebook.
