As of this week, previously 'public' facebook pages seem to be behind a login wall. I can't check the menu for my local Indian takeaway, see which stalls are on the market this week, or get a clue about things happening in the community around me.
I can't find anyone talking about this online, and the only thing anyone - even local biz owners - seem to be able to say to me is *shrug*. What the fuck.

Now I want to get more involved in my local community, not having a facebook account is becoming debilitating. I hate this! Well, it was always a problem when travelling too, but I was less invested in stuff then.

Online advertising right now can't decide whether I'm single and looking to hook up or pregnant. Small victory I guess. I blame whatever my facebook friends are doing.
I love the work by Oliver Haimson about transitioning between idenitties online, and how digital footprints and arbitrary technical decisions make this difficult. ~"What would it look like for a social network site be oriented towards people drifting between identities over time as happens in the real world? Designing for forgetting and decay."
Facebook is advertising a hamper of meat to me, I think it's safe to say I haven't been successfully profiled.

Personal challenge: see how long I can stay in Facebook social experiments session before leaving in outrage.
