Why do people like Facebook?

[toxxikk]

Actually, when you post photos to an album, you can chose who can (or can't) view that album. So if you set your album to total privacy except your friends, then THEIR friends won't be able to see it. You can also set it to Friends of Friends and various other options.

And no, when I exchange a message with someone outside MY set privacy preferences, they cannot view my profile. And if they have similar preferences, I can't see their either. I've been experiencing this a lot recently while trying to find a new roommate and not being able to view the person who is inquiring about the room.

Privacy on facebook is much more customizable than Myspace if you know how to toggle all the controls to your own liking. There are many, many more options than Myspace.

Just to clear that little bit up.

And yes, I do prefer FB over myspace. For many various reasons. But I'm not ragging on myspace. Just pointing out the privacy differences since you asked.
