Entire Facebook Staff Laughs As Man Tightens Privacy Settings
PALO ALTO, CA—All 1,472 employees of Facebook, Inc. reportedly burst out in uncontrollable laughter Wednesday following Albuquerque resident Jason Herrick's attempts to protect his personal information from exploitation on the social-networking site. "Look, he's clicking 'Friends Only' for his e-mail address. Like that's going to make a difference!" howled infrastructure manager Evan Hollingsworth, tears streaming down his face, to several of his doubled-over coworkers. "Oh, sure, by all means, Jason, 'delete' that photo. Man, this is so rich." According to internal sources, the entire staff of Facebook was left gasping for air minutes later when the "hilarious" Herrick believed he had actually blocked third-party ads.

3. Did you really?
I was tempted to post the story I read on yahoo or CNN about that whole IM thing the founder got caught in.

Also read a story where someone who had posted comments about the whole deal ...their profile was deleted, but I am not sure where I read that or if it was true or no.

Let me know what happens!
