Facebook Feed? Options

[*Azarel*]

So two days ago, Facebook released it's latest feature after profile badges (to advertise your facebook), my notes (a blogging-type system), and political & election groups (to increase awareness in the collegiate age group): a news feed and mini-feed to allow your friends to track all of your moves on facebook.

Many current users dislike the new interface, as is evidenced by the number of groups that sprang up. The official petition group is growing exponentially, with over five hundred twenty-four thousand (of an estimated nine and half million) joining in the past thirty-eight or so hours; it's big enough that the media is tracking the backlash.

So here's the question: how do you like the new facebook (if you use it)? Don't post if you don't use it, 'cause you'd be spamming, k.

btw, I didn't see fit to just bump an old facebook topic since this is asking about a response to the new facebook facelift thinger.

Zuckerberg said Facebook was working on giving users additional privacy options.

The safeguards, set to be released Thursday night, will let users block from feeds entire categories -- such as changes to the groups they belong to -- while still allowing people to observe such changes by visiting the profile page. Before, a user had to remove items one at a time from their personal feeds.

I guess we've won some ground, I guess.

Also, LiveJournal seems to be taking the cautious route with its tracking after seeing Facebook's mistake, as can be evidenced by the new feature update. ( http://www.livejournal.com )
