I just joined facebook. In setting up my info I went to the space where you enter your interests. There's a pull down menu for topics, I guess, or something like that. When I went to the list I got all my Absolute Write posts. That freaked me. Was that pulled from my hard drive (I hope), or is it all out there in the ether for anybody to see?

Hmm...That's odd. It's probably some sort of "Search-Assistant" thing with your history that either your computer has or something Facebook has.

Don't worry. Your browser remembers what you've typed into a field, and it displays it next time as a helpful suggestion of what you might like to type again. Normally, it's something you never want to type again, but it can be useful sometimes.

It's not transferring that text to Facebook or anywhere else off your computer unless you ask it to by selecting one of the lines of text and hitting the OK button.
