Only hours after facebook released a feature entitled “Feeds” & “mini Feeds” users responded with aggression. A petition has been launched and many are planning to boycott the site if the featured is not removed or provided optionally. I personally don’t mind the feature. From a technical stand point it’s really cool because it lowers pages views, all in the while allowing users to see what’s up with friends. But, what I’m hearing from a couple of my buddies who use facebook regularly is that it’s invading their privacy. In some aspects the new features are leaking out information that users may not want featured. An example would be if I visited facebook on the hour and left message and checks friend’s profiles, I can easily see how people can infer that I have no life outside of facebook. I don’t personally logon to facebook all that much (to be honest, some of my buddies have been try to get me on facebook more often lately shooting messages there rather then my email) but, I know many do and feeds of there activity is definitely not appealing.
