Nice. Hope they add more features like this so it's easier to stay far from Facebook. Really, every time I read something about Facebook it's about privacy issues. The other side is Facebook users telling how great and useful it is.

Well here's some news: I value my privacy more than so-called usefulness of Facebook. I had it pretty easy before Facebook, I still have, and I will have it easy in the future as well.

Anyway, just my two cents. You can use yours any way you like. Just don't try to take mine.

I agree. Facebook is so silly. The sad thing is that I read an article that actually said that having a Facebook account is seen as a plus by your employer,as it shows you're in touch with the latest technology. Don't know if it's true (or if it was some sort of promotion for Facebook), but I hope not.

It would make sense.  Facebook has a population of over 500 million users (last time I checked, it grows rapidly every month) and thus has a larger population than both the United States and Europe.  It is the best tool for social networking today and we all know how important networking and efficiency are to companies.  The fact that there are so many people on it and that virtually any mobile device will synch up with facebook or will be able to acess facebook makes it, combined with smart/cell phones, the most important piece of technology you need for employment in the business world.

My Fb is set to standard privacy settings because I really don't have anything to hide.  The worst pictures I'm tagged in involve me next to a 40oz and one where I'm drinking a bottle of wine (although they might notice that I'm a contributing member of NORML).  As long as you don't lead a reckless and idiotic lifestyle you won't have to worry about employers discriminating against you because of information they found on FB.  This whole group adding thing will probably be sorted out and forgotten of.
