Facebook Launching Privacy Controls and Instant Messaging

Caroline McCarthy has posted about new Facebook privacy features that are being rolled out later tonight or tomorrow morning as well as initial screenshots of the rumored instant messaging service. The new privacy features will enable users to have granular settings on a per-friend basis. When users confirm a pending friend request they will be prompted to set the privacy settings for the new friend.
