It’s up to you now, whether you want your Facebook profile privacy or you want to open up your entire profile to public; whether you want to keep yourself confined to your network of Facebook pals or you want to reveal your digital belongings, personal information, wall posts, videos, and photos to the whole world. Well, the social networking site Facbook allows you to do that now.

Facebook on Monday introduced a new "Everyone" option to the profile privacy settings page that gives its users an option to reveal their personal profiles including status updates and personal contents, personal information, wall posts, videos, photos, links, etc. to anyone from the Facebook network or otherwise. The new "Everyone" option is part of Facebook’s overhaul triggered in the start of the month.

In a blog post Monday afternoon, Mark Slee, an engineer at Facebook wrote, “One of the top priorities at Facebook is offering privacy controls that let you choose exactly what you share with whom. We have largely focused on enabling you to give access to your profile to people you confirmed as friends and people in your networks.”

Slee added, "While these controls remain important and a priority for us, many of you have explained that you also want to open parts of your profile to a wider audience. Starting today, you can choose to make your profile and any of your content available to everyone on Facebook. None of your existing privacy settings have changed. This is an additional setting for those of you who wish to share with a broader audience."

Slee explained that even if a profile is open and made available to everyone, it will not show up in Google searches or other outside search engines, while makes search for individual name or company. To view a publicly open profile, a person will need to have an account and will have to log on to Facebook.

Slee wrote, "While some special rules remain in place about who can see your profile if you are a minor, people generally won't need to be friends with you or share a common network in order to view your content if you choose the new "Everyone" setting.”

"In the past, searching for friends you haven't seen in a while or someone who has a common name may have been difficult. You may have only been able to see their search listing and a small thumbnail version of a photo, if that. With this change, people can use the 'Everyone' option and make it easier for you to find and connect to all the people you know," Slee wrote.

Commenting on the Facebook’s new "Everyone" option, the principal analyst at Gabriel Consulting Group Inc., Dan Olds said, "I think this is a good thing. It gives people on Facebook much more granular control over what they show or don't show the public. Giving customers more control over how they use your product is almost universally a good thing. It helps people get more use out of it. There are some people who will make many more connections because of these new features."

However, some conservative Facebook users are not happy with the new changes made in Facebook; some are simply not able to digest the new changes, and they want the "Old Facebook" to return.
