    Wow, that's really detailed

    In other words, it's basically a query to pull the public information off the profile >.>

    It doesnt actually pull any information down other than names, thats why it is a total non starter.

    I know, I was being sarcastic. Have a look at the first post I made in topic :)

    The program is merely pulling information from profiles with no security on them. That's down to user error, not facebook. Facebook's error is merely not telling the users :)

    I guess the headline "Public Information Now Made Public" just wasn't sensational enough for news publishers...
