I found this article pretty interesting, I came across  with it by chance and I honestly can say I had no idea that such changes were going on... here is the link for the article:

Wow -- thanks for this, peekaboo17!!  There's a lot of very important info in that article! I went through and made the necessary changes, thanks again for the alert!!!

Here's some more very recent privacy changes -- the new, universal "like" button, and the "instant personalization" that they automatically opted everyone into and that you have to go in and uncheck "allow" to opt out of. Plus some additional steps to block some specific apps that can now throw your info around otherwise.

Lots of useful info in this one, too. Everyone should check their settings per both articles as the changes are already in effect.
