Google+

They can see every page you visit that uses the FB API (ie, has a like button or suchlike).

Thats something I did not know. Even if you dont click the button?

I know that since I have started talking about google on this topic I have strangely been getting specific adverts on my webpages about Google. What a coincedence.

There are ways to stop the Facebook API from tracking you via AdBlock (a browser extension), but i thought this suggestion was funny, only works for Googles Chrome Browser unsurprisingly:

Down with facebook, google+, twitter and associated nonsense!

Everybody get a book!

Hear Hear, now I'm off to see what everyone on the forum is up to.
