Reader of the Huffington Post are not happy with the news blog’s “Connect With Facebook” feature that allows the site to recommend articles based on your Facebook profile.

It seemed like a cool, practical, rather natural idea: Have those Huffington Post readers who are also Facebook users to connect via the latter so that the Post could pick up on your interests and “likes” and recommend articles accordingly. But readers haven’t received this new feature with open arms.

“I don’t want any such ‘recommend­ation’ feature to channel me away from stories or presume that my interests don’t shift,” wrote MyFatCat.
