Hmmm… So I was giving some attitude to the folks who have been up in arms about Facebook and their dodgy security and privacy features and execution recently. Turns out they may be on to something…
Whilst this isn’t that serious, it does mean something ain’t quite right over at Stalkerbook Headquarters: approximately half an hour ago I added two people as friends on Facebook. Now when on my Facebook homepage their news items show up in my news feed. Fair enough I figured – they approved the request and I just haven’t received the notification or email to that effect yet.
Nope. Still says ‘Awaiting friend confirmation’ on their profiles… Riiiiight… that ain’t supposed to happen. So are you telling me that if I go and add anyone I want to I’ll be able to start reading their news feeds up until the time that they click ‘Oh Hell No!’ on my friend request? And no, these aren’t folks whose walls are visible to anyone – they’re hidden to outsiders…
FAIL!
