"Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough." - Mark Zuckerberg

This is a really great quote. There is a lot of truth in it and the effect of a company build on the principle is breathtaking. Facebook moves at lightning speed considering their size. It seems that they somehow found a way that let's them add engineers and scale their development speed linearly.

For something like this I would prefer if they took a bit more time to flesh out options, as could find a button to remove things like friends adding other people as friends from the live feed.

Also this should come with a box up the top with specific help pages written up to explain it all, if people who develop and use web apps every day find it different and confusing, imagine the average facebook user.
