Frienditto
Mar. 6th, 2005 02:00 pmIn brief:
For the present I will be happy to continue to trust those on my friends list. Yes, I will make attempts to protect my own privacy, but as a rule, what you can see is filtered according to how well I know people... If a person blatantly breaches my trust, then they aren't exactly what I would define as a friend! *smile*
Further thoughts:
Personally I think it is not nice to repost another's writings without permission. Not as bad as plagiarism, but still in the 'not entirely morally sound' area. I would not appreciate my work in any other context being reprinted without permission, possibly in a context which is inaccurate too. *shrugs* That's the academic speaking though. I would be interested to see the legal standing for holding what amounts, in my understanding, to a database of other people's works without their permission.

"I'm friends with one of the creators of frienditto.
What the LJAbuse team wrote, is basically, a load of crap. Which makes this whole bloody situation a lot worse then it actually is.
Frienditto *does not* store passwords. Quite franky, the creators did this for a bit of a laugh and have no interest in what else goes on elljay land - they have lives of their own to live. It was created by friends for friends. Other peoples' mileage may vary, within reason.
It's just a robot used for archiving post. It does what people could do already, just copy and paste entries (and comments) and posts it online.
If a friends-only post is found on frienditto, it isn't the websites fault - it's the friend who decided it would be such a good idea to archive that single entry."
