So I for one am quite enjoying the facebook fun going on at the moment and particularly like this image.
But I will say all the fear of stalkers is more than a little silly, everything it is possible to now "stalk" was 100% possible before and these newsfeeds don't make it that much easier.
I will say that one arguement has totally gathered my support and that is the simple "publically available isn't publically announced", it's a really good distinction. Say I change my status to in a relationship because I don't want to offend my new partner but don't really want to make a big thing of it with the new newsfeeds I have announced it to all my acquaintances.
A few comments totally go with that "don't live your life by facebook" being one however when I was at Uni message boards were actually a big part of sorting out rowing stuff and getting hold of that girl's crew we saw on the river and wanted to ask back to our college for a meal and some drinks before clubbing or whatever.
Either way this really reminds me of the million auction march back in the 90s at eBay and Mr Z of facebook fame really should read his internet history books. Nothing is new between heaven and earth :)
