facebook is creepy

[SJ77]

I tried to start a facebook page for my site. I don't want all my family and coworkers knowing about my site but I would like to advertise using social networks.

I didn't give facebook my phone number and I used a totally new email address. Soon as I signed up I see in the "People I may know list" all friends and family I have ever known.

What the heck? How do these goons get all my information???

Does this mean my new page will show up in THEIR "People you may know list"???

This is all data analytics....

Facebook page is different from profile and even you can mange from same email 

or even now you can make admin to your personal email... one can have tow admins ...

all the best

let me know if you need some help...

No it shouldn't. I agree though, FB is creepy as you put it. To make sure though, have a close friend check and see if it shows up. Don't add much info until you know for sure. If you created your page with a new name you should be OK.

I also created a page a month or so ago. I didn't do it for my website but my music and it seems to be OK. Everything seems to stay private on FB. No one seems to know about the page.

I have never been a FB fan. It seems you can't do anything on FB without the whole world knowing about it.

I was doing political advocacy several years ago and I was Facebook "Friends" with a number of state representatives.  One day I logged into my account and encountered the following popup.  Talk about data mining...

If its a Facebook page, it shouldn’t.
