Social plugins are a bigger source of clickstream data currently than either Connect or Instant Personalization. As I mentioned in the article, Facebook getting your clickstream is not a new danger; I merely want to see them adhere to the same log retention policy for Instant Personalization as they do for social plugins.
Presumably FB could record every page you see with a like button whilst you have a logged in FB session. Arvind October 4, at pm. Wendy B October 4, at pm.

That is my opinion…like it or ignore it. Up to you. I was a recent victim of the viral marketing time thief and worse a victim of privacy violation on facebook. What a great post my friend. I am a facebook fan and mostly spend my time playing some games and just talking out with my colleages.
