Notebooks And Computers - Reach 350 Million Users, Facebook tighten Confidentiality
Facebook will improve the monitoring of secrecy and abolished regional framework for online communities, after the service's most famous social networking on the Internet was reaching 350 million users.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced the milestone and the changes through information published in "kaplingnya", Tuesday night, and said the appearance of new confidentiality will allow users determine who can view pictures, comments, videos, and other materials in penampangan (profile).

"We're going to add something that has been requested by many of you - the ability to control who met with each individual piece of content that you create or upload," said Zuckerberg.

"To make it so perhaps, we have focused on giving you the tools you need to share and control your information," he said.

When Facebook was launched in early 2004 as an online networking among students to keep connected, the model is centered on the sharing of information with a "network" of school friends.

Online community model is to survive, and extends into and through the company's geographic boundaries.

As many as half of Facebook users are members of regional networks, and covers all parts of the country, like India and China.

"Some of this regional network now has millions of members, and we have concluded that this was no longer the best way for you to control your privacy," said Zuckerberg.

"The plan we have designed a completely eliminate regional networks and create a simpler model for controlling the confidentiality, where you can specify the contents that are available only for your friends, your friends of friends, or anyone else."

In a few weeks ahead of all Facebook members will be asked to review and change personal settings in a slim new format, said Zuckerberg.
