Mark Zuckerberg's Sister Posts "Private" Facebook Photo That Became "Public"

Oops :)

Recently, Randi Zuckerberg (a/k/a "Mark's sister") posted a photo she intended for viewing only with her Facebook "friends." Well, thanks to Facebook's new "poke" device, a person one degree of separation from Ms. Zuckerberg saw the photo. Before you could say "privacy policy," the photo became the principal message of a tweet.

In a delicious twist of irony, Mark's sister was, ahem, unhappy with this alleged breach of social network etiquette. She apparently was less unhappy with the opaque rigamarole known as Facebook's privacy policy, a situation that contributed to Ms. Zuckerberg's contretemps.

The story, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, was picked up in today's siliconvalley.com. Who said the day after Christmas was a "dead" news day?
