The push back is not very loud. It exists but I guess folks are adapting or ignoring this. I kept my acct but removed a lot of information and censored myself. It's no longer MY Facebook page. It's my attempt to be there while not being completely assimiliated. FB has no integrity in my opinion. I don't think Google/FB/Twitter and the other big giants are customer service oriented at heart. Their motivation is to serve their own business needs, i.e. make money at any cost.

For my myself, I only got 'into' FB last summer, because so many clients, and colleague wanted to link to me. So I spent the time to figure it all out and concluded it was at least an easy way to share pictures, links and social updates - though after a certian number of friends, I must admit the wall thing got very confusing to me and I still can't find a page to make for myself. Non the less, I am thinking of the masses like me, that don't have a lot of itme, that want to try the latest thing their friends are into, who use it and are not aware of what is going on with the change in privacy. The reason I would say is that for a majority of the population, the learning curve to get a u/p and set up an account was stressful enough. Understanding how it all works is at least 2-3 levels above the current state of awareness. That the FB corp would do this is a statement of their of integrity - I hope conversations like this blog help them to get over it! My profound thanks to Kim Krause Berg for one of the best explanations of this problem I have read so far. It is scarily illuminating! Carolyn Winter Still on FB but not sure how much longer!

This way - the less content on our pages - the worse the ads are for advertisers, the less $ for facebook. Hit them in their pockets.
