Facebook Rolls Out New Privacy Settings on May 26 [news.bbc.co.uk]

Social network giant Facebook will roll out a new set of privacy settings to all its users starting on 26 May. The company said it will post the details on its blog. Facebook faced a barrage of criticism from users over a series of tweaks that left its members unsure about how public their information had become. Some profile owners have threatened to quit the site on 31 May in protest. Founder Mark Zuckerberg admitted the company had "missed the mark". "I can confirm that our new, simpler privacy settings are starting to roll out tomorrow evening so stay tuned on our blog for more details," said a spokesperson.

This really is a mess. They need to get it correct and stop changing things. It really looks like they are amateurs running a billion dollar business. That's scary.
