new fb features

Hello peeps :)

Today I found an interesting article that I would like to share with you all.

The article itself can be found here: http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/6/facebook-now-allows-you-to-download-your-information/

Basically Fb now has a feature that allows you to download your fb profile into a zip folder on your computer. You can then do anything from uploading it to another social site, upload it to your own webpage, etc.

I gathered from the article that this is a big step for fb. They apparently have been very guarded concerning security.

I have to say that I don't think this is a good idea. Looking ahead I see hackers not only getting into your acct, but being able to download your info to use later. And I also think by the time everyone who matters finds out how bad of an idea it really is, it will be too late.

In another article, I read about fb creating a "groups" feature. I like this concept very much, especially the group chat. I am interested however, to see how they deal with 13 and under age group concerning this feature. I'm inclined to hope for either parental permission or no access at all for that age group.

What do you all think about the new features? Love 'em? Hate 'em? You know you want to comment, so spill your guts! :)

Everyone have a great night/day.
