Marion told me that he rented 'Enchanted' for his kids from Blockbuster.com. Now in all his friend's feeds it says 'Marion rented Enchanted'. Maybe I am not truly social yet, but this activity makes Facebook into that really annoying neighbor who spies on you and then spreads neighborhood gossip. Time to butt out. They hide the functionality that turns off this annoying behavior, but here's a link to turn off integration with external websites and here's one to turn off social ads. If I want to rent 'Where The Red Fern Grows' for a cry it is not of your damn business. Good riddance.

For what it’s worth, I had my facebook settings set so that what I did on external websites was not posted to facebook. When I activated my account, Blockbuster was added to my facbook site, but was set to ‘ask me first’. Well, it didn’t ask. It told everybody what I had in my queue.
I’m off to watch Old Yeller, maybe it will cheer me up.
