Facebook announcement

Facebook announced three new features that the company says will give its users more control over the information they share and receive on the social networking site.
Now,The 500 million users of Facebook will be able to group their friends so they can share specific information with specific groups, be it work friends, college friends, family, etc.

Under the new feature called Groups, users can create sets of friends and share information solely with that social circle. He said the solution stems from what Facebook has done with Photos, where 95% of users on Facebook are tagged in Photos as a result of friends tagging them
This same "social solution" principle will apply to Groups,where a small proportion of users would create a group, allowing all their friends to benefit from their work.
There will be another feature called "Download Your Information" where users (after their identity is verified) will be able to download a log of all their activity of Facebook, including recent wall posts, photos shared, comments made and messages sent.

"Philosophically, that's a core thing that people want from Facebook. "People want to be able to easily take their information to another service and do that in safe way."

And lastly, a new dashboard that allows users to see all of the apps that they use on one page was unveiled. It will also allow users to monitor and manage all their Facebook tools, like privacy settings and deleting unwanted apps.
