Facebook accounced a new publisher option will allow you to post completely “public” updates, or post them to select groups of friends at their press event today. Meanwhile, you’ll soon be able to become a “fan” of a user profile (in addition to fan pages), in the same way you can follow someone on Twitter.
Transition Tools
The transition tools – of which there are several – allow users to change their sharing settings in one quick action – to “recommended,” custom, friends-of-friends, only friends, or the everyone option. An important point is that Facebook is not changing anything by default (users were clearly concerned about “everyone” becoming the default).
Facebook is currently testing its 6 different transition tools with just 40,000 users, will expand that to 80,000 users next week, and then begin a gradual rollout to all users later this month as it determines which tools users respond to most favorably.
