On companies datamining your social media output and social graph for marketing and even credit rating:
“I don’t think there’s anything scary about it,” she said. “Why wouldn’t they look at it? It’s public.”
Point is that lots of people are not aware that it's public… and that they are not even in control of what is public or not… -
Apparently, speculation on the use of your social graph to determine your credit rating is no longer just speculation (and Rapleaf, already infamous for collating social networking profiles, is also active in this field):
"If you're [using social media] and your settings are turned to "public," who you're talking to and what you're discussing is available to those wanting to sell their wares — and that includes banks and other credit issuers."
"Rapleaf hunts and gathers social networking transmissions, turning the conversations you have in your network into consumer profiles called social graphs."
"Social graphs allow credit issuers to know if you're connected to a community of great credit customers. Creditors can see if people in your network have accounts with them, and are free to look at how they are handling those accounts. "
