I’ve been on WorldMagBlog as a very religious lurker, ever since it started. I’ve read a lot of bloggers, and frankly, I have never met one as consistently small-minded, mean, and dark as you. Your willingness to be needlessly snide with the gentleman who posted here – whether he’s affiliated with iList or not, is frankly appalling… especially for one who is supposed to be following the winsome example of Jesus Christ. You seem to have forgotten that people that you communicate with over the Internet are just as human as people you speak to on the street, and just as deserving of your kindness. To be blunt, you owe everyone here, especially the non-Christians here, an apology for your complete failure to even attempt to live up to the words and teachings of Jesus.

Now, as far as your point goes, you are completely wrong to say that this is a “gimmick.” I won’t try to point out to you the wrongness of your rather unwieldy attempt to subtly insult anyone who uses this service. Furthermore, your claim to knowledge on thsi subject can be disproven by anyone with a Facebook account.

As a user of iList and of similar services, I can testify that they actually work pretty darn well, not to mention conveniently. Giving your cell phone number doesn’t give away any crucial identity information. You can’t use it to search for an address, for the obvious reason that a cell phone isn’t confined to an address; nor can you use it to search for a name, because your cell provider ties your name to your bill. It’s considered billing information, therefore, it’s protected.

There’s very little personal risk involved in a service like this. Facebook and Myspace only contain as much information as you’re willing to make available, and even then, they’re only accessible by the people you want to allow.

Believing this sort of nonsense has nothing to do with “being nice” it has everything to do with being SMART, and understanding how the internet and all the gimmicks work – and then not ‘falling for it’-

Had the same thought. Or, maybe I’m your sock puppet. Perhaps we could tell on iList

There are a lot of unanswered questions, but the basic idea is sound. As to ID theft, I don’t see how a Facebook page is any more threatening than a phone book listing.

Seriously, they post this, and the guy who owns it (or at least somebody claiming to be him — if we were connected to iList, you’d actually be able to tell. go figure) is nice enough to come on and attempt to address your concerns and link you to the site, where you can presumably (it’s “Uncategorized” on my network’s filter, so I can’t actually get to it right now) see a privacy policy and examples of existing accounts before you decide to make an account.

On line safety has nothing to do with hope, love or faith! – it isn’t a Biblical principal –
