Facebook wants more search engine traffic, according to Inc.com, and they want you to help them get it. How? By compromising your privacy...

Bottomline: keep a sharp eye on your Facebook privacy permissions. They've already made some changes earlier this summer. You may be oversharing with more than your 492 closest friends and not realize it.

Inc (and TechCrunch) think Facebook is going to continue to tinker with the pricvacy settings in order to allow more search engine traffic.

So pay attention...

I would agree, the problem is that facebook is a closed system, people think of it as them and their friends, where as twitter is an open system, you know anything you say will be seen by everyone. Both have their merits, however if FB keeps playing with it's privacy rules then they will run into issues with their current users.
