These days I see lots of links from all kinds of "social readers" in my Facebook feed.

A lot of them are actually interesting, but that does not mean I want to authorize the app and start broadcasting my every move online.

Here is what I do: copy / paste the headline into Google and find the article on lots of sites. The great benefit in addition to avoiding the Facebook Big Brother is to read comments from a variety of communities.

It is hard to eliminate Facebook from my routine completely, but I am surely not going to allow them to be more nosy than they already are.

PRO TIP: Install Facebook Disconnect to reduce the amount of tracking they can do
