WORST IDEA 5/10/10: Facebook "glitch" exposes private data

Remember that "private" Facebook conversation you had with a friend about how your boss is a jerk? Well, your boss might have read it. A Facebook glitch last week made supposedly private data like chats and messages available to any of your friends to read. This comes after yet another confusing front page redesign and Facebooks seemingly random policy towards what you see in your "feed." I would, however, let anyone see whatever private info they want if I could just make "Farmville" go away.
