Facebook and Google Sidewiki

Getting your mind around permission implications

It may be a little disconcerting to see Google Sidewiki entries from people you don't recognize on your Facebook | Home page. Don't worry, the people shown in Sidewiki entries (like this one) don't really have access to your Facebook | Home page (or any other Facebook page) unless you have explicitly granted them access.

Also, use caution when posting new Sidewiki entries on a Facebook page. All Sidewiki entries are PUBLIC, and are not in any way controlled by Facebook permission settings.
