Facebook ups the Privacy

facebook logoFacebook’s new privacy options are nice to see now that facebook is open to everyone. When I first joined facebook it had only just come available to high school students. I thought it wasn’t a bad idea at the time as I was only a college freshmen and I still had friends in high school. Now however, facebook is available to anyone with an email address. My friends are on facebook, my parents are on facebook, and even my grandparents are on facebook. As a college student this was a little concerning as I liked to keep at least some of my college experience away from my parents. Now, with the new privacy settings I can be ‘friends’ with my parents (keep them happy) and yet keep that photo album away from their eyes (you know the one I’m talking about). The new privacy settings give you a few options to not only choose who can see your profile but who can see a particular photo album. Allow only college friends to see college albums and family to see only family albums. You can exclude certain people from seeing certain things like that girl you like from seeing the photos of you throwing up all over your roommate after (let’s just say) a party.

There are a few rumors flying around that facebook will be introducing a new integrated instant messaging option. If this does turn out to be true, many people will find it even harder to get away from the social website, which is probably facebook’s goal anyway. I’d like to see the option but I don’t think it will replace the AIM or Yahoo! accounts I already have any time soon.
