I actually like the new features a lot. As someone who didn't friend everyone under the sun I like getting updates on the people I have friended. I don't really get why people are complaining about the stalker aspect -- the information it displays was already available to anyone on your friends list and if someone on you friends list wants to stalk you they can just check your profile all the time. If someone is worried about their privacy they can adjust their profile privacy settings, delete things from their mini-feeds and not friend random people.

I really don't like the recent Facebook features. The notes, the status thing, and the news feed are all really stupid.

I dont like the whole blog and news feed thing at all. However, it's not a big deal when compared to the fact that facebook is selling our information to 3rd parties. That, to me, is going too far.

Anywho, I've moved on from facebook and myspace account is going to be deleted soon (again!).

Yes but we have learned from Dateline that they're sluttier because they are 12 years old!

I actually like it. Am I alone in this? It's much easier to have all the information at a glance instead of clicking on people's profiles to see what they updated.

i just wish they'd move the mini-feeds to a less obtrusive position, like where they moved pictures and groups to, and then put the pics and groups back where they were.

Apparently all those petition and anti-feed groups paid off - showing up on my homepage of facebook (and I assume everyone else's) is a letter from the creater of the site. He apologizes for making so many people upset about the News Feed, and clarifies ways to increase your privacy control. I thought it was a well-written memo...and I'm always impressed when a party recognizes and addresses the concerns of the people its affecting. It seems like he's working hard to keep with his vision for facebook and still keep peace with its members.

I'm glad they set up some new privacy settings for the mini feed. The only thing I didnt like was people seeing who's walls I had signed.
