After weeks of derision, Facebook finally unveiled a new, simpler privacy policy. The three big changes were: aggregating all privacy settings into one simple control; blocking unwanted visitors to your profile and others; and stopping third-party applications from sneaking into your personal information. The goal was to silence the crowd of detractors and regain Facebook's reputation as a safe place to network.
Then came the wave of opinions. The overwhelming reaction to Facebook's alterations was a sideways-thumbs-up. Good, perhaps better -- but not best.
