Facebook, Social

facebook_logoIn a letter from Facebook Founder and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg opens with a pretty staggering statistic: “more than 350 million people around the world are using Facebook to share their lives online.”

Zuckerberg goes on to discuss user privacy and the social network’s current system of regional and community “networks”.  Facebook will be completely removing regional networks for a “simpler model for privacy control where you can set content to be available to only your friends, friends of your friends, or everyone.”
