What I also like about Facebook is the way it is capable of remembering so much about me (so long, of course, as I gave them the information in the first place). As far as I am concerned, this is useful – as I can now forget lots of stuff, clear it right out of my brain, yet always know that if I really did want that nugget of virtually useless information, it just might have been preserved. And, thanks to the great tools that Facebook has developed, it’s astonishingly easy to get hold of it, too.
In honour of our Facebook chums, and the hundreds of millions of Facebook users, I’ve reproduced some helpful guidance from their site which lists the sort of stuff that Facebook may know about us, just in case we had forgotten it and ever needed to know it again.
And to help you memorise the list, the stuff is grouped in alphabetical order, with a gap after every 5 items so you can take another breath:
