Facebook is the number one social media network on the planet, and as we all know, it has paved the way for millions of people to act and react simultaneously. You're on Facebook. Your family's on Facebook. And yes, your Mom is on Facebook. We're all familiar with the platform. Facebook is making some SUBSTANTIAL changes to their privacy policy. In part, inspired by Google+'s plethora of features. Accessibility is the main priority here and a lot of features are being moved to News feeds and profile pages as opposed to setting pages. "A new drop-down menu will appear next to individual status updates and pieces of profile information (see above), enabling users to select the “audiences,” groups, and friend lists who can see those bits of their personal lives. The View Profile As tool will now reside at the top of your profile page rather than deep in the privacy settings, making it painless to preview what your mom will see before approving her friend request. Keep reading for a breakdown of some of the other big additions."

Now, you will also be able to tag people who are not yet your friends, with users being able to accept or deny those tags before they're associated with you. An ideal feature for night's that you would like to forget by not being tagged performing a "keg stand". It helps protect your online integrity and private life.
A couple other features include:
- Geo-location in status updates
- Ability to change who sees Facebook updates after they've posted.
- Change of "Everyone" terminology to "Public" (borrowing the lingo from Google+)
