So I was adding a review to Citysearch when a little notice pops up for a couple of seconds saying that the review was being added to my Facebook page. This was nothing I had set up, and I was really angry. It turns out my reaction was not unique. The launch of Beacon, as this feature is called, has been a certified disaster for Facebook.

This may reflect a generation gap. The Millenials may be totally comfortable with this level of sharing, and it may be my ‘old-school’ ideas about privacy will be swept away by the next generation.

If you want to turn off Beacon refer to this article.
