Thanks for the heads up. I just denied Facebook access to my phone's microphone.

I had a look at the membership info needed to join facebook and funnily enough I can't remember the colour of the shirt I wore on 13 March 1947, or how many buttons it had, too many questions I didn't join.

Exaggeration, I know but that was the impression I got, when I looked into joining facebook.
