The Museum of Me

Intel's new 'Museum of Me' is pretty cool. It creates a visual archive of your life and presents it as a video walk-through of a museum dedicated to you.
What isn't so cool is that you need to grant Intel access your Facebook profile. It's from your Facebook profile that it creates the 'Museum of Me' walk-through, utilising your photos and other info.
By giving Intel access to your profile you are giving them permission to:
- Access your basic information and profile information.
- View name, profile picture, gender, networks, user ID, list of friends, and any other information I've shared with everyone.
- Post to your Wall
- Intel® The Museum of Me may post status messages, notes, photos, and videos to your Wall
- Access posts in your News Feed
- Reveals your Likes, Music, TV, Movies, Books, Quotes, Activities, Interests, Hometown and Current City
- Access to your photos and videos
- Photos Uploaded by You, Videos Uploaded by You and Photos and Videos of You
- Access your friends' information
Besides the potential spam hazards of revealing this information, I wonder how many people are comfortable sharing their details in light of high-profile user data security breaches such as the recent Sony Network hack.
