However, the four issues I mentioned can really only be solved by Facebook. The main advice I would give would be to spread the word. When users got worked up about the News Feed, Facebook added privacy controls. When users got worked up about changes to the TOS, Facebook reversed them and asked for more input. The only way I can see these issues getting better would be if users get worked up about them. @Anita: Both Inside Facebook (http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009/05/13/facebook-privacy-guide/) and AllFacebook (http://www.allfacebook.com/2009/02/facebook-privacy/) have published user guides on available Facebook settings to help ensure privacy.
