Revolution Privacy and Tag of New Facebook

Zuckerberg's company followed the users. To make it easier to share. Controls on the immediate post and who can see them. And news on the tagging of photos and comments

FACEBOOK changes again. And it does so by responding to many of the requests that users of the most popular social network in the world have made the company headed by Mark Zuckerberg. The ingredients of most of the privacy and management of posts, tags, photos and other content by making it easier, immediate and customizable sharing on the network.

"Our goal was to make it easier to share," he said from Palo Alto Kate O'Neill, director of marketing at Facebook, "by improving some of the most popular. Enhancements were suggested by our users and make the experience A simpler and more secure, avoiding any surprises. " And following the suggestions of users, the social network offers a rather important change, moving a set of controls on the post and who can see them, no longer part of a menu, but in a window next to the post, allowing a form of immediate control of our content.

Profile. The first major change is on the profile, which increasingly becoming "our home on the web" must not be content that we do not want and should be visible only to those who we want. Facebook, to make this easier management, provides users of new tools that do not force us to spend more clicking through menus with different, often difficult to understand, but which appear "inline"

and allow us to decide what we want to do every time, more rapid, comprehensive and immediate. And there is also a "preview" to see exactly how our profile appears to others.

The tagging. One of the most interesting is the tagging of photos and commentary, feature beloved by users of Facebook, but that he needed to be "corrected" with greater flexibility, especially allowing users to approve the tagging done by others, or our content others. Now this will be possible before the post or photo is visible to anyone on our profile.

Privacy. Much more flexible and is also the immediate management of privacy, ie who can read our post when we share it, management can be made directly when writing a new post, divided by lists, or other groups. Adding other news, our location, without resorting to Places. And now you can change the settings even after a post was published, without having to erase and rewrite.

Tags. It also changes tags: whereas before it was possible to tag someone have if it was our friend, or a page, only that we had given a "like", but now you can do it all, and in the case of "no friends" tag will not appear until approval of the person.

The changes will begin to be implemented over the next few days and should lead to having a more clearly defined on the wishes of the users and their privacy.
