I just deactivated my FB account due to a bug where one of my FB friends can see any post I make a comment to on a friend’s wall even if he is not friends with them. The entire post shows up in his newsfeed. I checked all my settings 10 times. This is not the Recent Activity bit which tells him I commented on someone’s status. Its the actual post which he should not be able to see at all if he is not friends with someone! IT IS A SERIOUS BUG / PRIVACY BREACH!!!! He says this has been going on for over a year or two.

I also found out that this is happening to another person I am friends with and he is getting the same kinds of things showing up in his newsfeed.

Now I don’t know which of my friends has this problem in their newsfeed and which don’t. I cant comment on any of my friends status updates anymore for fear that what I say is going to show up in his or someone else’s newsfeed who shouldnt see it. Hence deactivation!

I have about 20 online profiles, work 12 hours a day and retain a very active social life, ultimately the ‘a-listers’ are massive geeks, they’re not built for popularity, and now they have it, they dont want it.

I have Linked-In, my daughters have Facebook and MySpace. I have been in technology companies all my life, AT&T, Nortel, Corvis and I’m currently General Manager of Web Strategy at a Blue Cross company. Here’s the deal. There is always froth. Witness the tech bubble and subsequent bursting. Same thing on a smaller scale here. Does that mean this stuff is the “pet rock” of double-oh’s? Get real. Will the craze settle down as the novelty fades. Likely. But at its core, social networking has meaningful utility. As the rising generation infiltrates corporations, government and other institutions — or starts businesses of their own and need to interact with customers and suppliers — this stuff will settle into the “boring” pattern of mainstream. This is so obvious I was compelled to comment not because the question has any merit, but out of my amazement that you asked it in the first place.
