Did you know that Facebook is keeping you from seeing some of your Facebook friends Facebook updates and Facebook status messages? Even though you are seeing regular Facebook notifications on your Facebook news page, you are not seeing everything from all of your friends. In fact, you are only seeing the Facebook stuff from your Facebook friends that Facebook thinks you’ll want to see. Facebook is making that choice for you. (“We’re Facebook .com, we know your mind better than you do.”) This gives rise to some Facebook problems, most notably that you are missing a large portion of your friends’ Facebook updates, not to mention that their Facebook status ideas as to what you want to see from your Facebook friends – and from which Facebook friends, at that – may be wildly different from what you really want to see. Fortunately, there is a way to override Facebooks selections, and to see the Facebook status updates from all of your friends.

We take Facebook safety seriously. A few days ago in one of our articles on Facebook we told you about Facebook’s new open social graph and Facebook apps that allow Facebook to follow you around from site to site, sharing what you are doing, and how to opt out of it doing so – that is just one of the many Facebook risks you can read about here. (On an interesting sidenote, in researching this article we found that many people search for Facebook info and never find it because they misspell “Facebook” in a number of ways, including Facebok, Faceboo, Acebook, Fcebook, Fcebook, Faebook, Fasebook, Faccebook, Facebbook, Faacebook, Faecbook, Faceebook, Fcaebook, Facebookk, Facebooks, Ffacebook, Facebood, Facerbook, Faceboock, and our personal favorite, Fecebook.)
