   It’s definitely stalkerish. And creepy. Quite a few new groups on Facebook have popped up saying how stalk-like it is and it seems that the overwhelming majority do not like the new RSS feed. Or maybe it’s just the vocal minority. But I’ve found myself not wanting to make comments anymore because now everyone will know exactly what I’m writing. And, worse, who I’m writing to.

   Did I mention it’s creepy?

   Thankfully, the Facebook team (reeling from all the negative feedback), has made your presence in the mini-feed optional. Users can now control how much or how little is published in the mini-feed.

   I, personally, took it all off. In addition, I’ve taken all of my interests/favorites/my wall/my pictures…all of the meat basically, off of my profile. If anyone wants to get to know me, they are more than welcome to talk to me directly instead of learning about me from a social networking website.
