If they put their hands up and just said oops sorry we screwed up a little accept our apologizes and help us figure out how we can avoid doing this again they would be getting better press. Where do you see this going Allen? up or down for them? Have they turned into the MS of social networks? or can they do an apple and win people back with some radical design?

When Facebook changed on September 5 to make it easier for users to keep track of their online friends, the company received a wave of unanticipated protest. Facebook added a "news feed" feature that automatically alerted users when their friends made changes to their online profiles. But many users called the new feature an invasion of privacy, saying it promoted stalking. I think most of the popular social network sites are allowing their members to post too much personal information. Many of the members on these sites are unaware of the possible safety issues (spammers, online predators, identity fraud, etc.)in regards to publicly displaying their personal info. I recently discovered and joined a social network, that not only protects the members personal info but is also family-friendly. The name of this site is Our-Social.com I think the real issue here is the privacy issue.

But there lies the paradox, social networking by definition is about making connections and sharing some kind of data. It's how to control the flow of this data that's the issue: <a href="http://antibabel.wordpress.com/2007/10/09/is-facebook-evil-privacy-leaks-data-flows-and-conspiracy-theories/">Is Facebook Evil? privacy leaks, data flows and conspiracy theories</a> Yes, a key concern is privacy.
