Facebook wants me to connect with my Skype contacts

Signing into Facebook today *shudder*, I saw that I now have the opportunity to sell out to all my Skype contacts and hand over my known associations to Facebook for their massive data gathering plan.
Talk about six degrees of separation in a dark room!
Should I sign in and give Facebook access to query Skype?

Ew. I will not be connecting my skype to my FB. 1900 ppl do not need to be able to call me on video anytime they want.
I would hold off, and then if I heard anything useful about it from others I might try it out. Call me paranoid but I’m a little cautious about giving sites more information than I think is needed or letting any single website/company turn into a central hub through which everything else is connected, that sort of schema would kind of defeat the original purpose of the web.
I’m taking a break from Facebook. There are many unseen privacy issues that I need to think about and sort through. Overall I think FB is great but at times I think they move to fast. Just because one has the capability to do something doesn’t mean one should.
I think when I reactivate my account I’ll more than likely take a minimalist approach and remove a lot of the information that I’ve made available.
BTW, U should post more pics on FB
Say thank you for any fairly apparent and advantageous post. I’m undeniably a violator of a lot of these policies. I generally identify myself personally conflicted when composing a weblog put up because I see personally writing greater than many people would like to go through, but I come to feel that I really have to do the subject matter rights by thoroughly covering up it. I really feel that by subsequent a number of these principles I stop up lowering out essential aspects to your discussion. I guess you’ve got to uncover a stability.

I will not do it because Facebook is really an untrustworthy site when it comes to information privacy. I hope others won’t too. Saw you on 125 Fearless Female Bloggers too.
Ha ha I believe this is the best comment on the matter
Not at all.
Facebook is untrustworthy.
Sounds like an interesting concept! Didn’t know this! Thanks for sharing!
