Thanks for proving my point. Just as many people I find like the features as hate it. There are tons of groups standing on each side. If facebook says they are wrong now,.. what’s next, the next feature they add? People hate change, but to say they are wrong now would only set a precendent for down the road. They need to talk with the community and teach people how to use their privacy settings as most people just need to tweak it, so all their infor isn’t every where or delete what they did from their history on their profile. I know this as a facebook user. If you look at most of the anti groups, they just call the feature lame, but don’t say why. Why look at all your friends profiles, when all the same features is on your homepage.

Still think “most students” like the feature?

Here’s an article with slightly more of a grip on reality, haha.

What’s even worse is Mark Zuckerberg’s response. “Calm Down. Breathe. We Hear You.” It’s hard for me to imagine a headline more patronizing. How about saying “Our Mistake” or “Whoops”. First rule of good customer service is to apologize for ANY mistake, perceived or not. Doesn’t matter who is right or wrong, the customer wants to hear that THEY are right and have a real problem.

Facebook needs to disable this ASAP, to publicly admit they were “wrong” to foist it on people, then allow their users to opt-in to it.

But I hope they won’t, because it could well be a turning point against them.

Give it a couple weeks, then we’ll see.
