Ok, it’s really sad when a company has to accept culpability for their users being unable to understand the concept of the fucking internet. Let me digress…

Facebook recently added this thing called a “Mini-Feed” to their site, so that any time your friends update something, it goes on your mini-feed, so you have a quick, heads-up view of what all your friends have been doing. Probably implemented fairly elegantly using triggers in the DBMS cluster…but anyway, I found it cool from a technical perspective, as well as a simple “what’s going on” view. I kind of like to have everyone know when I change my status to something like “I’m on vacation, don’t expect me to reply to your messages” or something to that effect.

Well, a ton of people complained, and now they have new privacy controls for the feeds. I don’t understand these people; if you don’t want someone to know something, DON’T PUT IT ON THE FUCKING INTERNET! How stupid are these people? Do people truly not understand this? If you intend upon sharing something with the world, why in the hell do you care when people get notified?

You people are annoying as hell. I for one will be leaving my mini-feeds on, since I think they’re cool, and will be keeping my private info off the internet (or on this blog, if I get really shitfaced). Get a grip, people.
