when will people learn? there's no such thing as privacy on the internet. if you put something up on the 'net, don't expect anyone to keep it a secret... not facebook, not google. NOBODY...
if you post it, it's public. if it's not public now, it'll be public at some point when someone finds a way to make money off of it.
facebook isn't real

Just out of curiosity, how many friend requests did you get from TA's today jenny?! LOL!
I don't really care if someone wants to request me, I can deny them.. and I get to lurk thier page first before I do.
I just put all my shit to FRIENDS ONLY, and made a "Limited Profile" friend group and blocked those friends.
If you really want to take the time, you can make seperate groups of yoru friends that you don't want people to see stuff...
ie. make a group "don't see wall posts" and add people who you dont' want to see your wall
another group "no pictures tagged by friends" and add people to that...
and so on and so on... one for each thing ie. "work and education", "contact info", "status and comments"
Once you get the groups made, just limit them...
Like I said above, I got all of it set to "Friends Only", so I have to get your request to approve/deny if you see that stuff... once inside, I have certain things blocked to "Family" which is uncles, aunts and stuff... "coworkers" which is people who i work with but not friends friends with.... and normal "limited profile" which makes my page pretty safe and PG for certain people as I see fit like aquantices, friends of friends, people who know my mom etc...
All have their own security level kinda...uncles can't see my statuses of "going out tonight to get wrecked at the club", and co-workers can't see my wall where my friends post things like "great night last night! Can't believe we did that!" when I call in SICK the next day...
But, my friend is wondering how to shut off the friend requests? Anyone figure that out?
got 2 absolute random friend requests lol
Lol, I know all that. That's not the issue for me. The issue is now I can be contacted by people I most likely don't want to be contacted by. I don't have a problem ignoring the requests, but the other way is less insulting. 
And yeah I got a few requests today. Names I don't even recognize wtf.

You can change the indexing thing for search egines...

Yes I know that, lol goddamn man are you seriously even reading my posts?? Shit sakes son.
And it's not friends only, it's friends of friends. I'm talking about in the contact section/add me as a friend option.

It's the principle though. Like I said, I don't have a problem ignoring it...I just preferred it when I didn't have to deal with it at all.
And most of those privacy settings aren't new features. You could always have it set that way. I know because that's how I have mine set up.
meh.
K, was reading something on the web and the thing withthe friend thing is this...
You can choose who you want as your FB friends, choose who you don't want, based on people you interact with on a daily basis or people you actually give a shit about. Fair enough, you've locked it down enough...now fuck everyone else with your privacy settings.
What about when someone, legitmately find you, could be a childhood friend, a current friend who lives away who you don't have regular contact with who never had a facebook but now got one and wants you as a friend. Could be a random old dude in Europe claiming to be your real birth father. Wouldn't be nice to entertain the idea... I just only a couple weeks ago got a request from this one girl I was great friends in university, I left school, she got in a relationship, our contact stopped, phone numbers / emails changed etc, no contact with previosu mutal friends, now 9 years later, she saw me on someones page and added me. Totally blast from the past! We've been getting closer in the past weeks since, which is kinda what the real novelty of facebook was about when it first came out, finding old friends.
NOW, here is what I would like to see.... when you make a request for a friend, you HAVE to write something about either who you are, why you're adding or something... ie. hey, remmeber me, we met that time at so and so's bday party in the summer? So and so's friend, we were talking about that thing and those things all night and you said we should thing. (maybe not the vauge, but you get the idea).
THAT would be a great addon if they're not going to limit the friend requests, at least make a reason mandatory...

Yeah pretty much. However, I do have to say that the only reason I created a Facebook account was to find and contact my younger half-sister.
