This one is. It’s easy to exploit, as my experiment with my dog proved. I’m no fan of Facebook and have long had concerns about the issues over privacy and malware that have long plagued it – as well as the sly, underhanded intrusiveness of apps like this one. I vastly prefer Twitter as a way to build readership, and will continue to rely only on apps that won’t make me look like a chump in front of my connections.

That’s just me. Glad to hear that you’re finding it useful, but I’m turned off by what I saw. It told me everything I needed to know about this particular app.

But I listed my blogs on networked blogs myself, and it seems to be a good tool for automatically posting your blog postings on facebook (or not–you can choose to delete posts, or choose not to have networked blogs automatically post to facebook). So assuming you want an easy way to post your blog postings on facebook, I’m not aware of any other problems with this application. If it’s doing some other insidious thing, however, please let me know!
