Some ppl thinks that fb is changing the 'gameplay' without telling the 'players'. It started off with 'here you can share everything because it is safe and secure', now suddenly 'you're sharing all these with the world'. A year ago I wrote how facebook will never be Twitter:

“Facebook lives based on its exclusivity and to compete with companies like Twitter, they have to let go the base principle that it holds.”

Well it's kinda like iphone vs android configuration where in iphone it is much simpler but doesn't provide you with much choice and android is the reverse of it. But I see that the newest facebook configuration is much user friendly without sacrificing its configuration depth for expert users. Wether the privacy control of facebook is good or not, IMHO, it won't affect facebook's total user a lot.
