To me, Facebook is like a contact management program, one of the country's largest directories with accurate information. Any contact management program worth its salt allows users to easily stay on top of a lot of contacts. Facebook's latest features do just that. I surely don't want to know about every little thing so I advocated for customization and control of feeds. To an admittedly small extent, that is what was provided by Facebook via Zuckerberg's apology and privacy changes. Certainly I would invite even more control over the settings (implementing largely what has been said on the blogosphere) and, of course, having the feeds not come standard. I think I am somewhat correct at this time in saying that Zuckerberg made the right move with his apology. The majority of Facebook users are going to crawl right back into their little holes and not give a damn. Certainly, the buzz has died down considerably. You, however, know better as to carry on the momentum pushing for changes.
