They have been coding in privacy settings…you should be able to remove everything from showing up in your news feed now.

Daniel I think you’re right, most of that stuff is public. But there was some security in knowing that anyone who wanted to know anything about you had to at least do the work of clicking through your profile.

@joe Lifehacker and Vallywag are both owned by gawker media… I think.

“Everything in the feed is already available to the public.”

What about when people REMOVE things from their profile? Sure, I guess you knew when people’s profiles were updated and if you had a copy of the information somewhere you could check it, but cmon. I feel that if they simply removed “Eric removed “New Kids On The Block” from his Favorite Music” it would be a lot better.

PS- Doesn't ValleyWag look strikingly like Lifehacker? Esp. the icons...
