Ah, I thought it was another one of those stupid facebook apps, already blocked and hidden of course.

[unskinnybob]

Never heard of socialcam or viddy.

I never watch the stuff shared from viddy or socialcam. You can watch it on Youtube by just copying and pasting the title, and you don't have to give access to your FB data.

Me too, I actually thought it might have been an FB virus the way people were all watching the same videos. I don't like apps that broadcast what you're doing, sure if you want to share it but I don't want to know every video someone is watching.

Yes! One thing I detest is giving them access to my fb data!
You tube is still better because of their sheer mass of content
