Anyone on Facebook realised this /

If you're on the home page, there Is a constant news feed on the right of the page.

Previously, you could only see posts made by your friends.

Now, If someone posts on their friends status, even If you are not friends with that person, It will show the status of that person and what your friend has written.

EG... Jane Doe has just posted on John Smiths link or status.... even If you don't have John Smith as a friend you will see the entire conversation because you are friends with Jane Doe.

Isn't that rather Intrusive?

I suppose it is, not bothered myself as if I wouldn't say it to everyone then I wouldn't be posting it in the first place.

What I have witnessed though is other people using it as a way to 'get at' someone else.

Surely there's more to life :-2

It was actually how I was the first to know my Great niece was pregnant. I messaged her asking ' are you pregnant' and she came back gobsmacked ' how did you know that?'.... I just wrote ' Auntie knows everything'..... It was actually her having a discussion about buying a test kit with her friend and It came up In the news feed.

I usually post brainless drivel on FB anyway, I'm not too concerned about others seeing it.

Me too... pictures of horses, cats In mail bags, the odd stand up row with a Nationalist as was last night but nothing I'd ever be embarrassed about being called out about..... Including ' Julie **** like Nick Griffin's comment.

what a horrible man, dread to think what he said, not sure I'd want to know. Along with the one who set up a facebook tribute page to the guy who shot those two police officers.
