Face book news feed?

How do you all feel about when you on face book they tell you every little single thing your friends have done on there by that news feed and mini feed. I just would like to know if that makes anyone else mad. Facebook should have privacy and you should be able to do something on there without all your facebook friends knowing about it?





Please give me some insight on this or your opinion of that.

Face book news feed?
You can change your privacy options so only certain stories show, and only to certain people. I think it's under preferences on the newsfeed ...
Reply:well indeed you must keep things private but it's a chat site like myspace and other websites, but you can always change your settings to private so that way no body can see what you have been doing it get's on my nerves sometimes but it's good to know what your friends have been up to and wht they are doing every now and again. But like i said just go on to profile and change it too private that way nobody can see what you have been doing but you can still see others. Or you can press the l- button to remove it. Hope that Helps you ,x
Reply:Yes..I was thinking the same thing..Thanks prairieprincess..xx
Reply:Look, i'm as happy as anyone that Facebook has figured out how to start making money through advertising. But also as freaked out as anyone that one way the company will do this is by tracking your web surfing behavior and add it to your profile.





Fortunately Nate Weiner figured out an extraordinarily simple solution (for Firefox users). Just install the BlockSite Firefox add-on and block Facebook Beacon.








Weiner was playing an online game the other day when he noticed a pop up window telling him that the web site was going to share his information with his Facebook profile. He had an option to say "no thanks," but like many people, Weiner figured he'd rather not get the message in the first place. So he found the offending requests were sent to "http://www.facebook.com/beacon/beacon.j...


So you could either add that URL to your BlockSite blacklist, or better yet, add "http://www.facebook.com/beacon/*"


to block any requests to the entire Beacon folder.





And now you have your privacy back. For now.





also, u can edit ur privacy settings in''privacy settings''





so, can i add u....lol!


hope u find this useful, by the way you can sign this petition, asking facebook, to reduce their intrusion into users' lives
