Good to start following some of this information. What is sort of funny is that you can post via facebook all the controversy surrounding them.

Apparently, one thing to really check is your privacy settings in the “NEW” facebook as they are set to EVERYONE for EVERYTHING. May want to tweak a bit just to shake things up a bit.
