One of the nice features of iTunes/Address Book is the ability to Sync with services like Exchange, Yahoo! and Google in addition to Apple's own MobileMe. I decided to try these services at the risk of really screwing up my Address Book. I have about 700 entries in my address book. I use both groups and smart groups to organize my contacts. I use the notes, related people, and date fields in addition to the more pedestrian fields for name, address and phone number. Any sync scheme that I could use would need to support these features. I also use the picture field.

Yesterday I was doing a search on Google for a person. One of the search results was a link for Facebook. When I clicked on the link I was take to a page that looked like Facebook but actually wasn't. When I click again I was asked to login. I thought this was strange because Facebook usually doesn't make me log in. I looked at the address line and it showed facebook*com*urrsa2*com (with dots instead of asterisks). I was taken aback. I did a search for this domain using the site qualifier in Google and found no less than 137,000 pages in the index. That looks phishy.
