Facebook's seamless sharing has lot of privacy implications. There have been many instances where I have read something and felt that it was inappropriate to broadcast to my network. The value of sharing comes from sharing things which we feel are interesting or important. This behavior of sharing everything by default means that we will miss out on the quality stuff even more. When everything is shared, the good articles miss out from getting attention. Seamless sharing is reducing the overall value of Facebook. On the other hand, I do like Ticker. It gives Facebook a real-time feel though it gives away the fact that you are online even if you are offline on Facebook chat.
