Visit http://evernex.com/facebook and follow the instructions to install a bookmark to their browser toolbar. It literally takes 10 seconds or less to install. Once installed it will delete all visible Feed items whenever a user is viewing their own profile and clicks the bookmark.

I’m part of it, and I agree with your point – sort of. A lot of people, it’s true, are getting hysterical because they feel their privacy was violated. It wasn’t. They just think it was, because they don’t realize that the news feed is just a condensed version of what they’re already putting out there on the internet in the first place. Anyone that nnated to know that information could get it, and while this does make it easier, it’s no more obvious.

But, if I may say so, you are jumping to the conclusion that everyone is of the same mind. Personally, I don’t care what people know about me, and I make sure that anything I post on Facebook is something I wouldn’t mind telling people. The problem for me is that I think it’s a waste of space and time. Its location on each person’s profile was previously filled with information like, for example, birthdays, cell phone numbers, AIM screen names – things I would actually use. Now I’m told that he decided to join the group “I like yogurt,” or that she wrote a message on another person’s profile at 4:00 a.m. I honestly don’t want to know any of that; it doesn’t matter to me. The home page is even worse: if anyone who is my friend (215 people) so much as sneezed, I get a huge list for the day telling me so (currently 25 events).

I want to be able to turn it off, but for me, not for other people – if they want to know that I “friended” Dan Quayle, more power to them. I just don’t want it in the way.
