Facebook members, most of them from a generation not known for political activism, are
complaining of the unintended consequences of making so much personal information available to
friends, be it an embarrassing photo or the break up of a relationship.

``News Feed is just too creepy, too stalker-esque, and a feature that has to go," reads the
petition of the newly formed ``Students against Facebook News Feed."

``No one likes having their every move watched," said Igor Hiller, 17, of Palo Alto, Calif .
``Me and my friends are just feeling really creeped out. It's Big Brotherish."

Two days earlier, the Palo Alto-based company founded in 2004 by then Harvard University student
Mark Zuckerberg began automatically notifying users whenever new photos were posted by friends.

``Calm down. Breathe. We hear you," Zuckerberg wrote to users on the Facebook site on Tuesday
of the changes. But he said he had no plans to back down.

huge bandwidth be available to everybody, 
everywhere
symmetrical up and down,
CHEAP 

AND... 

the appliances to take advantage of that
