I'm sorry that happened to you. Things get ugly when you don't respect people's privacy. It's just too bad we're the ones who lose! Ramon –

I joined a fantasy football league at work, basically because my boss wanted to go half/half since he wouldn't be able to manage it full time and neither would I. Outside of work, my friends asked if I wanted in on their league, and I said I didn't have time. Sure enough CBS Sportsline or whatever posted that I joined a fantasy football league to my facebook profile, just like Fandango. My friends seemed a little doubtful when I told them the league I joined was just for work, half managed with another coworker. They thought I was just afraid to play them. I was pretty pissed about it. Just wanted to chime in this happened to me at work, too.

I just assumed they used cookies, but Justin's post helps clarify. So, because I use different email addresses for facebook and everything else I do online, does this protect me from this then? got it. makes sense how they did it now.
