News feed is when it broke. It was described as “stalker mode”. Before to see your friends you had to purposefully visit their page and see what had happened. you had to go to another friends page to see their comments on that friend. There was some implicit privacy in all of this.
At the same time it’s probably the greatest business success of facebook.
