Mark Zuckerberg showed off some of the most drastic changes ever made to the company’s service. And though Zuckerberg is excited by those changes, many folks across the Web aren’t so quick to celebrate.The fear among some users relates to what some say could become a potentially worrisome privacy situation on the social network, led by Timeline and changes to Open Graph.Timeline provides users with a way to view “the story of your life,” according to Zuckerberg, including a collection of all the “stories” uses have shared on Facebook over the years, as well as the pictures they’ve posted and the applications they’ve used.Facebook’s updated Open Graph will make the social network far more “sticky.” Zuckerberg said users will have the ability–thanks to Timeline and a new addition, Ticker–to see what a friend is doing, like watching a movie on Netflix or listening to a song on Spotify, and engage in that same activity from within the social network. The Facebook CEO said he believes the improvements will help create “a completely new class of social apps” that will let users share every single facet of their lives on the social network.
Facebook is getting too intrusive and sneaky,” One Amazed Human continued. “If I can find another place to play Scrabble, I’m probably out of there. I can live without it nicely. When it was fun, it was fun. It isn’t that anymore. Thanks, Zuckerberg. Why didn’t you just create something new to mess around with and leave Facebook as is?
