Ok, so all the clever post titles  were already taken - but that doesn't change the fact that  Facebook is under serious fire this week.  Thousands of users are protesting  a new newsfeed feature that allows users to instantly track any changes made to their friends pages, calling the feature "stalker-ish". 

Privacy concerns from users who voluntarily post craploads of information of themselves online aside, the new feature could have an impact on advertisers. Forbes reports that the new feature consolidates a significant amount of information onto one page, and could potentially lead to fewer page views per a user - which would ultimately hurt advertising revenue.  Co-founder Mark Zukerberg is not concerned about negative impacts for advertisers  (yet).

9/8/06 Update - After two days of furiously "coding" Facebook has updated the newsfeed feature to allow users to control what information gets sent to their "friends" feeds.  Zuckerberg comments on his blog, "We really messed this one up."
