The fastest growing social network, Facebook, has decided to implement another change. Facebook is planning to introduce some new features to its platform with the company's executive not revealing much but posted that certain revisions are being made to the Privacy Policy and Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. The company aims to bring in some exciting new products but were unable to register its vote due to the Terms and Conditions mentioned on the site.

Facebook has brought changes to its location tagging feature which is not fully implemented yet on the site. At start, the social network only had plans to let users 'add a location' but now they are going towards much creativity. Innovation and technology would be integrated in the system, which will make the feature, like no other.

A controversy might arise between the users and the Social community, as Facebook is all geared up to allow third party websites and applications to grab information about users from their account as they use the service. Facebook has shown interest in working with partner websites which are pre-approved. For a start the company has selected a small group of partners which will be offering new controls and features for the users.

Currently, Facebook prompts users that whether they to share information with third-party sites. The new policy would bypass approval from users and Facebook would get engaged in sharing personal information automatically. If Facebook deems the third party trustworthy, the information will be transferred.

On other other hand, Facebook developers and third party websites are cautioned that they would be needed to delete all user data upon a single request. Developers are also noted, that they have been forbidden from sharing Facebook data with other ad networks.

Facebook wants the pages directly to fall onto online searches and available to all. Users can express their disapproval until April 3.
