Have you looked at your Facebook privacy settings lately? It seems as if Facebook changes its privacy terms and settings often and they leave it up to you to check and adjust accordingly. You must know that if you don’t want anyone to see it, then don’t take pictures of it or capture it and certainly DO NOT upload it to Facebook or any other site under the disguise its secure. Security is only as safe as the people who have access.

So this is so weird. This afternoon, I was given an update for the iPhone Hootsuite app. The updates said “just bug fixes,” but its so much more!!!

This update has some great new features, geotagging, Reply to all… it keeps track of your last users in a contact page for easy reference… sort of like tweetdeck. There is a translate tweet function also. This new version, version 1.1.0, allows you to integrate facebook also. Very slick.

Here are screen shots to prove it. Whats odd, is at 9:00 PM CST, I seem to be the only person talking about this… well @rosslarocco and I are talking about it.  But no hootsuite blog activity, no talk about it on twitter. The hootsuite paid app has been pulled from the itunes app store, the lite version is still available 1.0.6.

Whats going on? Am I an unsuspecting beta tester?
