Facebook Suspends Data Sharing Feature

From The Register: Facebook has “temporarily disabled” a controversial feature that allowed developers to access the home address and mobile numbers of users. This is another step in trying to get the social networking phenomenon more inline with the security requirements, as with the ever-increasing amount of user-provided content more and more holes open for savvy hackers to slip thru. This particular feature, however, lasted only three days – a testament to how quickly user feedback gets received and integrated, and (potential) corrective action taken these days.
