Via Binary Intelligence:
"Facebook has nice email notifications whenever a friend comments on your status, sends you a message, or a variety of other reasons. The emails have subjects similar to "John Doe commented on your wall post." The unfortunate thing is that this email also appears to contain John Doe's (or your other friend's) IP address.
...
You will get the IP address of your friend and clicking on it will get a geolocation-based map. This will also show you if your friend used their cell phone to post and who they use as their service provider."
Of course Facebook seems to have plenty of other privacy issues, but this is really ridiculous. I'm not really fancy about idea of all my Facebook friends to know my current location. Well they know now, if they really want and the actual problem is: I can't really do anything about it, I can't change my privacy settings for fixing this problem. Thanks Facebook, again.

Being bored when Facebook is becoming boring.
Development during last weeks on my Facebook stream, it is so obvious, whole Facebook is fading away. Rich content is really missing, my stream is just full pointless announcements about who is who's new friend and who 'likes' which commercial or non-commercial services, pages, pointless groups for just showing off your personal frustrations, racism etc. one word: BORING!
Nowadays Facebook is becoming really boring place and people are also showing it off with their lack of imagination status updates or complete inactivity. What it means for the business built around social media services like Facebook... really bad times. Facebook stocks, sinking down. Social media and Facebook? Train already passed by.
There is also really a lot of people who dislike constant changes on Facebook privacy settings. I also dislike it and I have been seriously considering about deleting (not just deactivating) my Facebook account.
If there will come up really interesting alternatives for Facebook, I will probably do it or atleast deactive the use of my Facebook account. Lot of my Facebook friends have already started the great escape, it is obvious, you can see it on the news stream, it is really dry and boring.
What interesting Facebook is offering for me today? Nothing. Changing the channel now.
