Are 3 views enough ? Very little to look at anyway.
Facebook recently changed EVERY one of your "Likes and Interests" such
as "Activities", "Music", "Books", "Movies" and "Television" into its
own public Facebook page with "fans" that "like" that attribute if you
happened to list it in your personal "Info". If you happen to "opt
out" of changing any of your personal "Info" into a public "link", it
no longer lists that attribute, which is why so many Facebook profiles
now look totally empty of any "Likes and Interests". It's caused a
large furor, and I assume something will change again soon. You can
create literally "anything" in your "Likes and Interests" and it will
now become a public Facebook page with you listed as a "fan" that
"likes" it. If you "like" something obscure such as "Low End Mac"
you'll find yourself in a relatively "elite" group of fans.
One problem with this new method, aside from the privacy issues of
opening up your "Likes and Interests" to public scrutiny, is the fact
that any posting upon these new "Likes and Interests" pages gets
placed into your "News Feed". If you have common "Likes and Interests"
you may be overwhelmed with postings for things like "Lady Gaga" or
whatever your "common" interest may be.
It's a learning curve hiccup for social networking. It shouldn't last
long unless more people acquiesce to the changes.
