Facebook Gets A Privacy Makeover

Facebook is now 350 million deep and getting a privacy makeover, again. The social media site is making it easier for you to control how your information is shared. Under the new settings Facebook will no longer use regional networks - the categorization of users commonalities like where hometown or high school. Instead you'll be able to control who sees any content you put on your profile. Even friends in your network will not automatically be privy to your information, unless you specifically allow it. It looks like Facebook has been listening to all the criticism over privacy issues.
