Hot Chicks to sue Facebook: For real?
A recent satirical viral video circulating made by a group of "Hot Chicks" who want to sue Facebook regarding their new Privacy Settings:
Facebook Phonebook: Did you know about it?
I've seen lots of status updates today of friends concerned about the latest Facebook "Privacy Scare" concerning showing other friends phone numbers in the Facebook Phonebook.
To see what they're talking about click on "Account", "Edit Friends" and then "PhoneBook" found in the left hand column.
Surprised? It seems that most users didn't know that they had this collection of all their friends phone numbers- all their friends that gave their explicit permission to Facebook to share these phone numbers with you, that is!
As explained in an article found on AllFacebook.com, this feature is not a new one, however it is also not a widely publicised one- something I think that all users who are concerned about the fact that their phone numbers may be visible to their friends should feel better about.
Remember, Facebook only shares your information to those that you ask it to. As the user you are in control of your privacy- online and not just on Facebook- and so you should make sure to educate yourself about it and take control of it.

Mark Zuckerberg responds to Facebook Privacy Concerns
There is always lots of hype around Facebook- what changes they make (whether good or bad) and what they are doing with all our info (whether good or bad). Most of the hype goes on unanswered, so it's really awesome to see that Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook founder and CEO for those who aren't in the know) does take notice and has in fact given a response.
