They need to give us the option to TURN IT OFF!!!! Just because we have a facebook, doesn't mean we want our friends we know from middle school to know when we added skiing as an interest. Get real!

It's a "neat" feature, but it's too hard/time-consuming to delete items you don't want others to find so easily (and impossible, at least to my searching, to disable the feature, which is a major option to lack).

In the first day of operation countless groups opposed to the change have been formed, and they are spreading like wildfire. One I created has grown to over 300 members--many of whom I don't know--in a matter of around 4 hours. (And yes, I appreciate the irony that the new format is partly to thank for this.) Facebook's users have spoken, and an overwhelming number range anywhere from annoyed to frightened by this new feature.

A lot of people doesn't want everyone to know at once that their relationship status changed or that they wrote on their crush's wall AGAIN. The News Feeds and Mini feeds are unacceptable. --clay The new facebook is an invasion of privacy because there are things on there that people don’t want to be displayed and it is WAY too much work to go and delete every item because, frankly, half the fun of facebook was hunting for what people changed.
