Facebook Founder's Pictures Go Public

jamie passes along a Newsfactor piece that begins "In a not-uncommon development for the social-networking leader, Facebook's recently released privacy controls are leaving the company a bit red-faced. As a result of a new policy that by default makes users' profiles, photos, and friends lists available on the Web, almost 300 personal photos of founder Mark Zuckerberg became publicly available, a development that had gossip sites like Gawker yukking it up."

    That's MySpace, and it wasn't CEO of MySpace you were friends with.

    True that. Imagine knowing my personal friend network, something that is unattainable to discover without Facebook, and most importantly, that I enjoy Buffy and is looking forward to Guild Wars 2, and make subtle sex jokes in my log when I'm sexually frustrated from having a distance relationship. This is like a new golden age of useful information.

    This scandal must have had a big effect on Mark's social life because I went to http://www.facebook.com/friends/?id=markzuckerberg and it plainly told me: "Mark has no friends."

    I am seeing that most of slashdot is now on facebook, which is totally sad. I can't reply to everyone, so I had to pick someone, and that was you, congratulations!. Here it goes:

    You use Facebook? What a faggot.

    There, I feel much better now.

    Someone's totally going to troll you on usenet for having an account on /.

    Indeed, I'm friends with a stuffed animal, inanimate carbon rod, a car, and jesus, and I run a profile for a robot.

    They are nowhere near on the ball.

    Sadly my hypercube got its profile deleted.
