I love Facebook’s News Feed. It’s convenient.
So forgive me if I call you silly for fearing Facebook’s so-called “invasion of privacy“. This fearmongering business is a distortion of the truth, that is in fact as Michael Arrington mentioned, “no new information is being made available about users”. So where does all the information come from?
If you have a Facebook account, logging in will present you a new page where you’ll get to see a news flow of what everyone in your network is doing. In one glance, you’ll see and respond to friends if needed, sort of like an email inbox. This saves you clicking on everyone’s profile just to see what each person’s up to.
Now pause and think for a moment. What does this remind you of?
Blogs and RSS newsreaders. Your friend’s Facebook profiles are actually like blogs, while Facebook’s News Feed would be your RSS newsreader.
