    That cashfan appears to be both poorly arranged and unironic.

    Facebook and Twitter are bubbles that need to burst.

    @momo: Not to worry: All it takes is some PR genius to proclaim that the NEXT social networking site is bigger than Jesus, and the herds will stampede onto it pronto. I give Facebook approx. 6 more months before it goes the way of Friendster.

    The cash fan of $20s is so 2007, and so is Facebook.

    @Swifter: What's wrong with 2007? Anyway, nobody does the 'fan better than this fella.

    And Gawker, your search works great. Only 3 clicks instead of the usual (nothingness and curses in my head).

    Ok Valleywag -- this is fantastic journalism -- your greatest post of all time. (I'm being 100% sincere.) Nice work.

    @Grandpapular: I was being sincere. However I hadn't read it carefully enough to see that True/Slant actually broke the story. So I am going to retroactively temper my praise. VWag did beat most everyone else on the link post, however, so that's something.

    Am I reading this wrong or are they forcing people to be searchable? Some people don't want to be found by others. At all.

    But go to that page where you used to be able to choose who searches for you an you get:

    "Your privacy settings are secured for your protection."
    with a lock box. How is putting your info out there against your will "for your protection"? What if you have an abusive ex who will now find you?

    You have to enter your password to even alter the new default settings. There are also multiple pages in which you'll have to visit to get all your original settings back, ei. all your profile pictures will be viewable to everyone unless you specifically go into a second screen and change that back as well. You also have to go into the Settings tab and change each item, posts, links, notes, photos, etc, that you post back to only friends, as it's been defaulted to everyone. Also, there is no way now to keep your profile completely viewable by only friends, as the option of who can add you as a friend only has two choices everyone and friends of friends. I used to be able to completely hide my entire profile so that only friends could see it, and if I friended someone, I had to add them because no one else could see my profile. That layer of protection is now no longer an option.

    It also looks like they altered the profile picture album privacy settings - I logged on tonight and realized that I was suddenly able to see a non-friend's profile picture album. So then I just started randomly clicking on strangers, and everyone's albums were viewable. I checked my privacy settings and sure enough, my profile photo album settings were set to "everyone". Some shiesty shit right there.
    I'm not one of those people who throws a big hissy fit whenever they make changes, but damn. If they're gonna be going around quietly fucking with everyone's privacy settings, I might have to deactivate again.

    Asking you questions you don't want to have to answer about content no one cares about.

    Isn't this the entire premise of NonSociety?

    In reply to Facebook's New 'Privacy' Scheme Smells Like an Anti-Privacy Plot
    I never got on board with Facebook or any of the other ones but I can say it's officially over when my mother, who can barely use the computer, is on there now with a bunch of friends. I just found this out this morning when I got one of those automatic e-mail friend requests from her account. Yawn. If I need you to know something I've got e-mail, text and phone, otherwise, I'll keep my privacy thanks. I do like Twitter, although I just use it to follow people/groups.
