I had my suspicions all along that, that's what was going on... Seemed funny that my buddy list would show up on some web pages... I figured it was a plug-in but was surprised that I couldn't find it when I looked at my installed active x and browser plug-in’s VIA Norton clean sweep.... I like privacy but in this day and age, I think it’s about as impossible as finding the final equation to Pie... LOL yes I am another cynic…

Yup

it wont be long before this gets exploited by websites and email lists get sold to SPAM mail companies

Once these guys posted about this it last wednesday i thought we would hear more about it

And sure enough Cnet and Zdnet are jumping on the bandwagon

Yeah when i first went to that site i have poasted about, i did wounder why it was showing my on line contacts but that was about a mounth ago.

cant wate to here what mr Geeks has to say about it all
he will proberly say " dont wory we have a new O/s that will fix that problem " lolol

i could understand if that messenger site was a .NET site
and had my buddys shown on it,

looks like we will just have to wate and see,
