I will just one web browser for facebook ONLY and another for all other stuff so, I’ll use safari for facebook and nothing else and all other web stuff on chrome.

So all they will see from safari is that I’m on facebook )))

Geir: The plugin is using the appropriate action hooks to purge caches when comments are posted, edited or deleted.

Gregg: A single hostname pattern is configurable in the Varnish Admin page. You can alter this to catch all your hosts, or leave blank to purge only by URL path.

You talk as if a social network was a cultural prison of some kind.

Guys, as you can see this little project is two years old and not maintained.
I shall try to find some time to fix, and will add to Github.

Definitely! It’s a great little tool, would be cool to have it working and maintained!

Okay.. I’m seriously wanting to ensure my privacy. Not that I have anything bad going on, I just very much dislike this invasion – plus, on facebook today I was just notified of news articles my friends had read. I had thought I was so smart to disable third party tracking cookies… tsk tsk… thank you for the article! it was eye opening.
So surfing in Chrome’s incognito will ensure that my cookies aren’t tracked by Facebook?
What other things can I do to ensure that no cookies are tracked?

Comment on node-amf and node-rtmp by Brian McKelvey

I took a different approach to integrating Node.JS with Flash: WebSockets. I wanted a unified server back-end that could talk equally well to both HTML5 and Flash applications on the front end, and to that end, wrote a WebSocket library for both Node.JS and for ActionScript 3.

Once the WebSocket connection is established, one can send any kind of arbitrary data messages, including JSON for HTML5 apps and AMF3 for Flash apps. I’m considering using your AMF3 library in combination with my WebSocket library for real-time interactivity in my Flash application — I’m currently using JSON, which is working just fine, but am exploring AMF3 as a faster, more native messaging format.
