Why you shouldn't post photos on Facebook

Because of what the advertising industry wants to do with them. An example of really twisted ethics here.

Another good reason Not to use FaceBook or Flickr for that matter.

Here's some info about how to import your blog into Facebook without any of the photos:

In short: Don't post photos you care about to Facebook.

Cheers,

To be crystal clear, here's why you should not post photos to Facebook. It's a rights grab. From the user agreement:

By posting User Content to any part of the Site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to the Company an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute such User Content for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, on or in connection with the Site or the promotion thereof, to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such User Content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing.

Joe, thanks for a good summary of the egregious behavior of this corporation.
