Facebook relationship status

Bleurgh.... lol

No thank you!!

I find ALL of facebook creepy.

its as user friendly as a brick to the face! theres too much drama, too many adverts and 'pay for privilege' games and people telling what they ate for lunch! took an HOUR to find out how to deactivate my account.

so this is another reason i wont go back!

After reading the article, I *think* privacy settings still apply to individual posts, but the page itself can be viewed by anyone.

If your photos are set as friends only for example, only friends will be able to see photos/content on the page- but anything posted as friends of friends/public will be viewable by the relevant audiences. Things like mutual friends and shared "likes" seem to be public.

To see for myself I just tried it out with a couple of people I know are in a relationship (friends of parents) but i'm not friends with myself and could see everything :\

I think it's such a weird thing to introduce.

What's the point, aside from making it easy to nose through the details of someone elses relationship?

This has been around at least since I started using Facebook about 5 years ago, it's just got a different name now and a different layout (which is only due to Timeline being a different layout). I don't get the fuss I'm afraid. You've always been able to "view relationship"... it could be me and my H, or my H and my cousin, or two mutual friends etc. It just shows events they've been to together, photos together etc. Perhaps some of the privacy things could do with tightening up or being better explained to people but if you are careful and set your privacy settings properly to begin with, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Haha, the only post is from OH to me on a bday before we got together. We must look like we hate eachother!
