Facebook and your data

From The New Wolfs Howl: A few days ago, I wrote this post about the amount of data that people give to Facebook, and asked whether those that do so had really thought about the implications of what they are doing. The post was prompted by the story about Robert Scoble being banned for scraping data from the site.

In the comments for that post, brightfeather asked:

(1) When you say “trimmed” I take that to mean that you removed some information. What did you remove?
(2) And what would you recommend as the bare minimum amount of information to post on Facebook?

I was going to reply in the comments for that post, but thought that this was worth a post by itself.
