Facebook Changes Again: Everything You Need To Know

Everything you need to know about the new Facebook:
- You’re going to get a Timeline — a scrapbook of your life.
- You don’t have to just Like something — now you can [verb] any [noun].
- Facebook apps need only ask permission once to share stories on your behalf.
- All “lightweight†information is going to the Ticker.
- You can watch TV and movies, listen to music, and read news with your friends — all within Facebook.
- Facebook has more users and more engagement than ever.
It's not that Facebook is trying to kill privacy - it's that it's trying to privatize it. I really really don't like the idea of web content being only available in Facebook (see below) and I don't like the idea of my lifestream being poured into Facebook. I'm getting close to shutting it down. See also Audrey Watters, who writes, "I think it’s clear that Facebook will be a force to be reckoned with in the future of student’s online learning efforts, whether we decide to let it into the schools or not."
