Facebook's New Features: Helpful or Creepy?

Facebook’s wall-to-wall feature, which allowed a Facebook user to see conversations between two friends, has now been replaced with a clickable link that reads “see friendship.” Clicking on this link enables you to not only view a conversation between two people (wall posts as well as picture, link and note comments), but a person can also see every picture the two are tagged in, mutual as well as common friendships, groups and pages they both like and even events they have attended together.

Part of this willingness came from the notion that since Facebook was only for your college network, your information was kept private so only those who were your “friends,” would know them.

The internet provides us with certain degrees of anonymity. For instance, it’s really easy for any of us to go on YouTube, make an account with a random username and then comment on any video of our choosing. Same goes for online message boards, news sites, Yahoo Answers and a variety of other outlets that allow people to post anonymously or with a username.
