Facebook's sneakily pushing us to make more content public

December 10th, 2009

Facebook just announced a big new change that in effect is designed to make more content public. They've realized for a long time (ever since Twitter got popular, really) that they should have made status updates public by default, but they haven't been able to make us change the settings.

This is a HUGE change. ReadWriteWeb realized this too.

They way they've gone about it ticks me off a bit. I can't blame them at all for doing it - it even makes a lot of sense. But hiding it behind a big "privacy update"? Why not just come and be open about the fact that they think the product will be better if more status updates are public? That alone would have been enough for me to switch my setting.

Here is the page where they sneakily get you to change your status updates to be public by default. This is the WHOLE point of them doing this, yet it's buried in the page.



And here is a page where you can now search public status updates. I bet as more and more become public this page will grow in prominence:
