I don't see a problem if you are single and don't care what potential employers think. And sure, if you aren't single then you shouldn't have the app installed in the first place (preempting this argument). But it still makes Facebook more of a landmine for less scrupulous users and they do make up a significant part of the population.
Does the Graph API allow you to find all app's being used by a specific person? This topic keeps coming up. If you can see all app's installed by someone then you might have the point. If you can't then an employer would need to search for this specific app and find your account. I guess it is possible that some employers may have a blacklist of hundreds of app's but I would have thought it would be more trouble to m…
You are probably correct and I agree with you about working for employers like that. I admit to not being a facebook expert and probably shouldn't have commented. But it seemed obvious to me that there are problems, contrary to what the OP says, for some people.

Nice find, it actually works for me too.

#24Those crazy kids with their crazy ideas about how to love each other. Good for them.
I can imagine Version 2.0 being even more general (a craigslist of discreet hypothetical matching) for more than just sexual arrangements. But continuing the sexual theme, obviously the next logical step is N-way group hookups.
It occurs to me that something similar could also be implemented in a distributed manner (for use offline or with decentralized P2P networks, etc...) using asymmetric encryption and split keys.

#25This is an interesting find. I don't necessarily care about "BangWithFriends", but I am curious if you still show up on those searches if you set the privacy to "Only me" when you signup in any app. Does that hide you from searches on the Open Graph (in respect to app usage)? I ask this because I frequently signup with Facebook on some apps, and purposely put it to "Only me" privacy, to keep my activity hidden from m…
By changing the app privacy to "Only me" it doesn't appear in Open Graph searches

Looks like indeed, you can! Use the graph search for "Apps that _user_ uses", or it looks like you might be able to use this url (might have to have graph search access) https://www.facebook.com/search/**userid**/apps-used

Now the app developers have to see if they can have that as the default privacy setting for anyone who uses the app and this should be truly private info after that.

> I don't see a problem if you [...] don't care what potential employers think Wait, what? My employer cares that I have sex?
My only point is that some may care, I have no idea if yours does or not. Personally, I wouldn't work for an employer that looked for such things, but I am also a very private person and would never use an app like that.

Only on HN would sex involve asymmetric encryption and split keys.
I kid, but I'd wait to see if this 'crazy idea' is successful (top tip: it won't be) before planning the second iteration.

#30Ask HN: What is BangWithFriends? Edit: a Facebook app that where you can click on friends you want to sleep with. If they have the app, they are notified. I would think this would be more cool if both of you are only notified if you both signify that you want to sleep with each other. This could also be toned down to just signify romantic interest to get more engagement.
It's a new service that has a mission to connect people, increase natural population growth and make the world more open place.

A booty call app seems like a terrible place to promote parenting.
