Michelle Prieb, project manager, research and communications at the Center for Media Design at Ball State University, just observed that college students survey at Ball State were creeped out by the privacy implications of what they'd previously asked for in search utility, when it was actually executed by Facebook's Social Graph initiative. The relevant cliche, I believe, is "Be careful what you wish for." Or as Oscar Wilde put it, "There are two great tragedies in life. The first is not getting what you want. The second is getting what you want."
