That's for status updates. What I mean for example, is why when I comment on someone's photo, or on someone's wall, FB has to announce to everybody that I did that, and in most cases even show the comment that I wrote, to people that I don't even know.

I have had in my news feed friend X wrote in Y wall, when I don't even have friend Y in my friend list and I don't even know him/her. So that's the thing, when I write a comment or post something, why should my post appear in this Y person when I don't even know him/her the same way as I see his/her post.

When I write a comment or post something in someone's wall or photos I should be able to control who sees that comment/post. If I write a comment on my friend's photo, why do every friend of her and all my friends get a notification that I wrote a comment on her photo, and why is everyone allowed to see it? because they are friends or friends of friends? That is wrong. I should be able to have complete control of things I write on FB.

EDIT: and with the new ticker thing.. is worse!

Ah yes I see what you mean.

the privacy settings entirely depends on your friends. if he/she has put it as everyone can see/comment etc.. every time you comment, it'll show up on other people's walls.

and with the new twitter like feed that just came out... one can freaking see everything that too in real time! i hate it. really.
