Washington Post: Facebook makes sweeping changes in privacy, sharing controls
Facebook is making some sweeping changes when it comes to how you share content with friends, and many look to be inspired by some of Google+’s more robust features.
Not all of these features are completely new, but are simply being relocated from rarely-visited privacy settings pages to more trafficked spots like the news feed and profile pages. New inline profile controls allow you to control visibility of nearly every bit of information you share, and are eerily reminiscent of Google+’s Circles sharing implementation. 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....
