here is lori's post on frienditto, which, listen, just don't do it, y'all, okay?

giving non-LJ sites your LJ password is stupid anyway, of course, and the cute thing about this one is that it makes your flist, including things other people have flocked, publicly viewable.

so don't do it.

i don't normally comment on my adding-and-removing habits with regard to my own flist, but i'll tell you what, this is a deal-breaker.  i don't even have anything to hide, but if you're using frienditto, you're so outta here.

How do I find out if someone on my (massive) flist has been using frienditto?

that's a good question. i've just been poking around their loathsome site to see if i can find an answer. best i can tell right now, the LJ has friends-of. for the regular site, i'm not positive at the moment. will continue to hunt.

I don't think you can; they make it very clear that archiving to their database is anonymous--there's no way to tell who submitted the entry. And you don't have to create a userid/password at frienditto, even if you're archiving locked entries. I'm thoroughly appalled by the whole concept.

*shudder* No worries here. I won't touch it.

What the fuck...?

I'm stunned not-quite-speechless that anyone would be so dead to all common sense as to give their logon and password to anyone else, for any purpose, let alone the archiving of information intended to have controlled access.
