Facebook Adds Privacy Controls
March 19, 2008
Just because your Uncle Joe joined Facebook and you added him as a friend doesn’t mean you can’t upload photos from the keg party. Facebook just added finer privacy controls to the network which let you expand access to your info to friends of your friends, and exclude friends on a name by name basis from particular bits of information. To see the new privacy controls, log in to Facebook and on the privacy page, go to Profile, and click the “Edit Custom Settings…” link.
What’s new?
Firefox 2 suffers massive problems with memory usage, so much so that it’s not unheard of for the browser to use half a gigabyte of RAM on a well-specced machine. On slower machines this kind of overhead can cripple the browsing experience. This has been largely remedied in version 3.0, with a daily average RAM consumption in our experience of around 120MB — still quite high, but far, far more acceptable and in line with other browsers.
New bookmarking features have been integrated, making it easier to add and organise favourite sites. A little star sits in the address bar now, allowing one-click bookmarking. Bookmarks Manager has also been upgraded for easier management of links and tagging, and to reduce browser load times and boost performance.
