Security is high on everyone's list of priorities these days, especially with Sony still battling to bring its PlayStation network and Qriocity services back online after a security breach potentially leaked millions of users' personal information. Now Facebook is offering a new tool to try and prevent unauthorized access to your account.
When the likes of TechCrunch and LA Times started using Facebook as their post commenting system, the feedback they got on it was mixed. Normal people loved it because it cut out the anonymous trolls and the trolls hated it because, well they couldn't troll anonymously. Now though they can get back to doing what they do best - spouting rubbish about their favorite smartphone that they've turned into a new religion.
Facebook today launched the ability to tag Pages in photos, just as people can be tagged already. In a post on Facebook (oddly enough) the company outlined the new feature which it believes will enable people to 'share richer stories'. We at RedmondPie aren't quite sure what they mean by that, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt on that one.
Facebook and privacy just don't seem to be the best of friends, and today the social network had to remove a whole API in order to stop personal data being accessible by third parties.
An interesting little tidbit coming out of Reuters just now, with reports that both Facebook and Google are contemplating deals with online communication firm, Skype.

The Mozilla team has finally made Firefox 4 officially available for public to download. Firefox 4 delivers a fast, sleek and customizable design for top notch web browsing experience.
The Facebook staff is always on the move to evolve, experiment and add new features to the social network. What I love about them is the way they do it. Apart from the timely major over-hauls, they keep on introducing users to minor changes and updates. This allows users to cope up with changes while getting to enjoy new features at the same time.
"Breakup Notifier", an app which made stalking a much better experience by letting you get notified of the breakups of your stalked targets, came out on Monday this week and has already been shutdown by Facebook, but only after it had already acquired 3 million users. The developer of "WaitingRoom" worked hard to overcome the shortcomings of "Breakup Notifier".
It's a bitter truth but we all have a little stalker inside of us. A lot of us at one point in time make use of Facebook to stalk the people we were in relationship with or want to get in relationship with. Breakup Notifier is the service which is going to make stalking a lot more easier. More interesting than the service is the story why it was created at first place.
