Facebook to open its doors

Facebook, the social networking site originally designed for college students, will soon open its membership to anyone who wants to join. With over 6 million members (a fraction of rival MySpace's 30+ million), Facebook has recently come under criticism by its users for posting private information in public areas of the site. The mini-feed and news-feed features in Facebook make it possible to see the most recent changes and updates to your friends profiles. However, many users felt that this was an intrusion of their privacy (which is a bit odd considering the nature of social networking sites). In response, Facebook is making changes to allow users more control over their personal profile. What do you think? If you're a Facebook member, how much do you worry about your privacy when using the new features in Facebook?
