Most likely this person has added you to their favorites so that they are notified when you add new pictures.<BR/><BR/>If you don't want them knowing about it, the only thing I know you can do is to keep your picture folders set to Private. There's an option on album properties that will make it to where the person has to sign in to view the albums. But I haven't tested this out yet, so I'm not too familiar about its use.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457923352034378962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-33119764722764784942009-02-23T06:44:00.000-08:002009-02-23T06:44:00.000-08:00Yes!

True it is social bookmarking at it's best. The links are fully followed and on Google. Not much better of a link can be had by social bookmarking.<BR/><BR/>Second, you can add and remove who you share with in Google Reader.<BR/><BR/>Your Google Reader friends come from the Google Friend Connect widget on sites you join or two way connections in Gmail. Make friend thru the widget and they friend you back, you get the opportunity to add them to Gmail or not.<BR/><BR/>Then you can accept them in Gchat or not and they you.<BR/><BR/>Then you can accept them in Google Reader or not as a friend you are sharing with.<BR/><BR/>Then if you do, you can read what they have to share in Google Reader.<BR/><BR/>Also, Google no longer just adds contacts in like they used to.<BR/><BR/>Now you see new contacts SUGGESTED by Google under, you guessed it, <BR/>"Suggested contacts". There you can choose to add, delete, or move the contact to "contact" or "friend" as in social friends or what ever you like.<BR/><BR/>I can understand you confusion and the reason for your blog post, but currently and for some time now your information is rather misleading.<BR/><BR/>If you want to really understand what Google is doing, take my <A HREF="http://googlingsocial.com/gfc.php" REL="nofollow">Google Friend Connect</A> tour here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308227213553520391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-36866223526197660952008-07-13T04:35:00.000-07:002008-07-13T04:35:00.000-07:00@Guillame:I don't think this has to do with advert...@Guillame:<BR/><BR/>I don't think this has to do with advertising. It's simply convenient to automatically populate the contacts list, so you don't have to add contacts. <BR/><BR/>By default, Yahoo Mail asks you every time you send a message if you want to add the recipients to the address book. This is annoying, but it can be disabled in the settings and you can choose to automatically add the recipients to the contacts list. <BR/><BR/>Gmail just needs to be more flexible, since people have different needs.Alex Chituhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618542750965508582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-14513775252861448382008-07-13T04:15:00.000-07:002008-07-13T04:15:00.000-07:00I totally agree this must have something to do wit...I totally agree this must have something to do with Ads revenue cause Google usually is not that dumb...
