Was it an app? You have to be so careful with those - using them basically gives them permission to access your profile...which means they also get who all your friends are...I avoid hem like the plague - even went back to my profile and discovered I'd given permission to a whole bunch I don't even remember. Got rid of all of them.
I am even careful now which fan pages I "like" (join). There are too many people out there using sympathetic causes for their own agenda..
I didn't even 'like' a page, but I commented on someone who did and I started having the group show up on my wall. What the heck. If I wanted to join the group, I would, I was just chuckling with a friend about a group she joined.

I noticed that FB has made a sneaky (IMO) opinon lately. Used to be, a FB friend would join a page, and it would post in my news feed, and I could comment on it, or click like - and clicking like jsut showed that I liked that the friend had joined the page. Well, now, not only no more space to comment, but if you click like...then YOU have joined the page. Sneaky. I don't "like" it.
