Free bottle of citicoline if I take a 3 question survey. But I have to click "send message" button on facebook. What's the downside? Loss of privacy?

Pretty much. It's basically an "app" that integrates into FB and they gain access to all your personal data including all the data FB tracks from you.

I gave in on one of those because everyone was doing one where it converts your face to look like a girl, and I just had to try it. The results were terrifying. Worth it.




I should just make a dummy FB account for those types of things. I think they require ID now though to make an account. FTS.

This is an ad, BTW. Clicking the button got me a pop-up chat box with a default message - "Have you used the product before? Tell us what you think of it, if so." Sending my answer shares my public profile info and the ID of the ad I clicked on.

NOw it's up to them to send me a link to a 3 question survey. All survey takers get a free bottle of CDP Choline. Which sells for $20. I use it regularly.

Yeah THOSE things are data harvesters. And apps. I'm sure they get a list of all your friends if you "play."

I should probably go do a workout. Been telling myself all weekend I really need to get started again but just ended up always being busy with something else, but now I'm just sitting doing nothing so I can spare an hour... if that. Time to go pump some iron I think. :p
