Facebook fishing?

Recommended Posts

Hi

I've gotten a couple of email's from face book that look like they have gotten hold of USPA's data base and their wanting to know if i want to be friends with some jumpers and parts of the jumping industry.

Anyone else getting this crap or know if USPA is selling their membership list. I'm no longer a USPA member but USPA does have my liscense# full name and maybe email address.

I know the info isn't coming from Dizzy.com because my profile doesn't even have my name.

Is facebook beating the bush's to inflate their membership numbers so they can try and BS their advertisers and stock holders.:ph34r:

Unlikely it has anything to do with USPA's database. Its a pretty simple task to correlate common friends, interests and companies that make products for those interests. I can pretty much guess where every friend suggestion comes from (Skydiving crowd, Scuba crowd, school, local etc...) just by the number of friends in common.

One of the guys at my DZ recently got an email and friend request from someone running for the BOD and saying congrats on his D-license, blah blah blah...

Sounded a lot like lobbying for votes.
