what's friendditto?
ok folks, does anyone know what friendditto is? It seams to be an automated archiving service but there seams to be HUGE argument about it. Some people claim that if you go there you can see posts that were marked as private, but becuase a registered friend signed up with friendditto then anyone can see it from the friendditto site

"From the Livejournal abuse team:
Dear user,
Frienditto is not affiliated with LiveJournal in any way. As such, this website does not have access to any entries which are not publicly viewable. If someone provides them with their LiveJournal username and password, however, it gives this site access to all non-public entries that account would have access to. We can only recommend that you do not provide your username and password to any person or website to ensure the security of your account.
Additionally, if you believe anyone on your Friends list may have provided their login information to this website, we can only advise that you remove them from your Friends list. This website will have access to your Friends-only entries as long as any person on your Friends list has given the site access. If any content is present on Frienditto which you do not wish to be there, you will need to resolve the issue with that website.
Regards,
Scott
LiveJournal Abuse Team
I have no idea if changing your password will re-secure your journal.
... and also gives Frenditto access to all your LJ entries and posts you were entitled to read i.e. my 'friends only' posts. This is why there's starting to be a fuss about it apparently, because it not only compromises your privacy but everyone on your flist who posts 'friends only' as well."

As the man says, if you think one of your friends has given away their password to Frienditto, then un-friend them. Seems simple enough.
