Do you like looking at the profiles of people you don’t know that well on Facebook? Of course you do, because we’re all sick and it’s fun. One wrinkle: there’s now a list of everything you search for on FB. Starting today, Facebook says: “In addition to your other activity, you’ll be able to see the searches you’re making on Facebook. Just as you can choose to delete any of your posts, you can use the same inline control on Activity Log to remove any of your searches at any time. It’s important to remember that no one else can see your Activity Log, including your search activity.” Read the full story at Gizmodo.
