Oops, I picked the "Friends of Friends" setting, changed it now, thanks for the heads up...

Hey Enikoy, I can see your profile too... Must be some sort of conspiracy!

Sounds like we are in the same boat...

I might comment on amusing status updates, or just to catch up with someone, and sometimes I might just update my status because I'm bored.

The photo tagging is quite cool, but one of my friends removes all tags to pictures of themselves, which is easy enough to do, even if you didn't take the picture.

"Become a fan of" is quite interesting, I know I have pretty much completely different music tastes to 99% of my friends, but I still use it as you get updates from the bands you sign up to. There's probably an option to turn off it's updates to the feeds somewhere.
