New Privacy Settings Should Dramatically Increase The Volume Of Content In Facebook's Public Stream

The most significant implication of the new privacy settings unveiled by Facebook today is that the Facebook stream, will now have substantially more content which developers can access. The result is that Facebook could soon have more stream content than Twitter, who has a tenth of the user base which Facebook has. As Chris Cox stated on today’s privacy call, “everyone is the new default” for status updates and links.

Facebook made sure to highlight that users will receive notifications throughout the transition process about the implications of making their content accessible to “Everyone”.
