I first saw this from
evil_book_lady who directed her friends list to this post:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/allyoops/332260.html Just as I now do for you. The post discusses the evils of a site called frienditto.com. The site takes your entries, basically, and if you or someone on your friends list give them your username and password, they can access friends only entries. They imply, with misleading wording, that they are associated with Live Journal, when infact.. they are not. They reprint your entries without your permission, at their discretion, anywhere they want, including personal information AND they edit them to their own liking. I am putting this out there as a warning. First of all, don't use them, and tell all your friends not to. They're evil, and illegal, and increase the chances of identity theft. There is a journal(
ditto_cops) that is keeping track of the LJ users and communities who have entries reposted there to help us keep track of that. I will use it to check and if I find anyone on my friends list using it, I will delete them. I will not hesitate. My work, my thoughts, are mine, and mine alone. I will share them with only who I wish to.
You wouldn't want your friends only entries going public... would you?
