<p>How vague is that?!</p>
<p>I don’t know what it’s going to do with the information it’s asking permission to access so it doesn’t get access</p>
<p>This particular application was one of those “Top 5” lists in this case “Your first 5 gaming systems in order”</p>
<p><a href="http://andyparkes.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/image1.png" rel="lightview"><img title="image" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; border-left: 0px; border-bottom: 0px" height="116" alt="image" src="http://andyparkes.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/image-thumb1.png" width="425" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>All the application does is compile a list. So why does the application need access to my profile, pictures, and friends information?</p>
<p>Until i know exactly what it’s going to access and what it’s going to do with my data then I wont install any apps</p>

<p>Sometimes there are things i just dont get straight away</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.twitter.com" title="Twitter">Twitter</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.myspace.com" title="MySpace">MySpace</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com" title="Facebook">Facebook </a>are good examples</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not saying i don&#8217;t see the point. I just don&#8217;t usually see the point for <strong>me</strong>!</p>
<p>My other half and a couple of friends have been asking me <em>when </em>(not if!) i&#8217;ll be getting in on the act.</p>
<p>I got an email today inviting me to join the Small Business Specialist Community group and i couldn&#8217;t say no could i?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing how the SBSC group develops on there</p>
<p>So there, i&#8217;ve done it and jumped onto the latest bandwagon&#8230;.</p>
<p>(<a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=674200038" title="Facebook profile">profile is here</a> if anyone is slightly interested)</p>
