I'm probably way behind the times, but facebook recently redid their privacy settings. I am not thrilled. Not because I'm concerned that the new standards will make me more vulnerable, quite the opposite in fact. You see, there are a few people on facebook that I like to see whats going on with them, but I don't know them well enough to friend without seeming creepy (yes I do appreciate the irony). Some of them are people I kind of know, or spouses of people I know, or just people that I've found fun to peek in on from time to time. I don't wander over everyday, but when I'm bored or curious or something, its nice to have a few stalwarts that usually have something worth looking at (or making fun of). And now I find myself blocked from that simple joy.
Of course, given that these are hightened privacy standards, I suppose that is kind of the point. At least I still have my blogs, well at least the ones that haven't gone private yet. Really, what is the world coming to when people will no longer air the intimate details of their lives for the amusement of strangers?
I KNOW. I hate that I can't see everyone's profiles. Oh well. That makes it so people can't see mine, which I've recently gotten paranoid about due to grad school psycho people... Ugh
