I just got a quite annoyed mail from a buddy who let me know that he won’t join Facebook.

So? Why would I care?

Well truth is: Facebook sent him an eMail in my name that he should join Facebook.

How they got his address?

When I planned my bday party I used Facebook’s calendar to inform all my friends. He was the only one without a Facebook account. Since I just wanted him to know the exact date, I entered his eMail address and he got informed. I never wanted him to join nor I wanted Facebook to ask him to. Deep in the Facebook KB I found a handy link where you can see which invitations you already made and which eMail addresses are ‘synchronised’ with Facebook. Ready for the devastating truth?
