- This is the settings page I'm referring to: http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy&section=profile_display http://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=privacy&section=pr... If you're interested in seeing if your settings are working, you can try the "Preview my profile" button on that page. Btw, I found that page under top right Account->Privacy. - I wasn't involved enough with the Instant Personalization product to be comment on it competently. - As for criticism, you can be sure we're watching very closely. IMO, much of it is because people don't really understand the changes or what is affected (as you point out, this stuff is insanely complicated, and we need to do a lot better at explaining and clarifying it to people). - You can absolutely have free form text. The "Bio" field on your profile is free form. Why can't you have it in the "Favorite blah" boxes? (a) Users simply used Pages to do this a lot more than they used the free form text. That stuff was edited once, and it wasn't convenient to maintain as your likes and dislikes changed. (b) We think there is significant utility that we can provide to the user from having this information in a structured format. Instant personalization aside, going to Pandora and hearing your favorite music play is pretty cool. We think we can do a lot more here. Religion is already not in this set -- it was not included in the Connections change recently.
