Facebook News September 14, 2011 Feed Update: Subscribe to Strangers, Filter Friends
There is something new on facebook called the Subscribe button. If your not friends with someone on facebook you can still receive news feed from them if your interested. Everyone is subscribed to friends but if you want to get public updates in your news feed from someone your not friends with just hit subscribe. You can also choose different updates with friends and others in News Feed for instance All Updates, Most Updates, or Important Updates. Facebook uses different signals to determine if a post is important or not. "These updates may include changes your about employer, school, relationship status or city." The only way to have a subscribe button on your profile page is to allow subscribers. Subscribes can only see what you share publicly. Honestly you should only add someone as a friend if you know them personally but if you want to know what they are saying then subscribing would be a good idea. I think this is an interesting thing they added on facebook and want to try it out soon.

And that is why you keep a private profile, but im sure people can find out what they want about you if they just try.
