Facebook now reports having in excess of 350 million members worldwide. This expansive growth led CEO Mark Zuckerberg to announce recently that changes to privacy settings were in the works. Those changes have now been rolled out. As a result, do you plan to make changes to your privacy settings?

I've already made changes to my privacy settings.	32.44%
I plan to make changes to my privacy settings.	26.76%
I have not given it much thought.	20.07%
I'm not a member of Facebook.	13.38%
I do not plan to change my settings.	7.36%

Making sense of Facebook's latest changes: Facebook affects so many people's lives now that any change to the network is bound to create some upheaval -- whether the changes are for the better or not, observes Paul Chaney, Internet marketing director for Bizzuka and author of "The Digital Handshake."

The common reputation of Twitter is that it's frivolous, which isn't the case. If it's set up right, it's a rich environment of lots of learning and sharing of important material. It's not just 'what I had for breakfast.'"

--Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Research Centers' Internet and American Life Project, as quoted in the Baltimore Sun
