Why is FB intent on ruining a good thing?? There's a reason this site got so big in the first place: Myspace, and public sites like it, SUCK ASS. Goddamn. You guys need different management.
i joined this site to keep up with my friends at mine and other colleges, not for the world to keep up with me. also, many students put cell numbers and addresses up so their friends can get ahold of them, and that's not information they want the world knowing. they also do not want everyone knowing when they are home, and when they are not, or knowing every detail about every move they make. opening facebook to the world is not only killing the reason we joined, it could endanger us.
Facebook is not and never should be meant to be like myspace. That is why facebook is still considered decent mainly because you have to havea school address. You will be runing your reputation by parents and children alike if you take away the edu part of the email!
If facebook becomes open to anyone, and any 12 year old girl or 50 year old man can get on, I'll have to leave facebook. I joined facebook over myspace for a reason.
