I don't have time today to check out the link, but I think that the relative good/evil of FB depends a lot on what you want it for. All my Romani contacts in Montreal used it as a promo tool for their music. They wanted people to find them, which meant releasing info. In that light, FB is simply amazing.
I use FB but simply don't release any personal info that I wouldn't tell to a stranger. I'm quite happy to tell them I'm a grad student at UA, but I don't see a need to put in my birthdate or phone number. If you don't put it in... FB can't get it.
