In terms of privacy, well, you can control a great deal of that by setting your account in a way that limits access to people you don't want to have it. I try not post too many photos of me drinking or with different female friends (Sorry Buster, I really do like the ladies). It doesn't look good for someone, like me, who has presidential aspirations to always be hammered on facebook.

But seriously, it's here to stay in my opinion. I think for people that are overly concerned about privacy issues shouldn't feel threatned by it. As stated here, it's user friendly and you invite or uninvite as many people as you'd like.

Absolutely. I think when they make changes that affects your privacy without you really knowing THAT'S a problem. I have a "Work Friends" group that has only the people I work with (excluding the ones I party with) so that, as you said, people don't see the numerous pictures of me super wasted...
