Openbook.

If your Facebook privacy settings are good enough, you're safe (I tried it and mine didn't show up.)

If not, well...

Just like the "Windows" parody software - "Windblows"

..anybody remember "Lindows?"

My name is so generic or common that I'm only finding stuff on other people with my name, combinations of my name or some dude that wrote a book about a flying spaghetti monster. WTF.

FB's privacy settings are pretty screwed. I deleted a lot of stuff out of my profile to keep Google and others from building database generated ads from it.

I use AdBlockPro so I don't see any ads on Facebook.

I think privacy on the net is a thing of the past no matter what kind of measures a person might take. As my favorite talk radio host Bruce Williams used to say, "That horse is out of the barn and galloping down the road."

Monte, it's not a parody.

It only uses your status updates, not your name. To check if it'll find you, type something odd like: 'Ninja' (I used this one) then go search 'Ninja' on Openbook. If it doesn't turn up, you're good. If it does... [Eek!]
