Are you ‘in a relationship’ on Facebook? If so Facebook has something for you. The social networking giant recently launched new pages for\u00a0couples which shows the joint digital profile of your relationship between you and your significant other. The couple’s page<\/strong><\/em> shows all the posts, event and photos that both of you are tagged in. That\u2019s not all it even shows the comments shared between the two on Facebook. In other words, it\u2019s like a virtual tour of a couple’s love life.<\/p>\n

If you have mentioned that, you are ‘in a relationship’ on your Facebook profile. Then go to www.facebook.com\/us<\/strong> <\/a>to get the consolidated view of you and your partner’s togetherness.<\/p>\n

Cute right? \u00a0Well not so much according to the internet. Many people have the opinion that, the new feature is creepy and invading their privacy.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Zuckerberg: by all means keep giving people new tools \u2014 as you did when you created Facebook. But when you start doing things for us \u2014 the experience is anything but social or remotely positive. You have infantilised my relationship for me with the creation of www.facebook.com\/us.”<\/em> said Emma Barnett, Women\u2019s editor at The Telegraph.<\/p>\n

However some people have the opinion that, the changes should be celebrated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing creepy here, that I can see, just more out of proportion reactions to something new, different and innovative. It\u2019s no different, really, than typing your name into Google and seeing your face and other personal details from social networks mashed up in sidebar.<\/em>\u201d said writer\/journalist Justin McLachlan in response to The Telegraph\u2019s article<\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting to note that, Mark Zuckerberg’s profile does not list any relationship info, while his wife Priscilla Chan has her relationship status public on Facebook. If you are not in a relationship on Facebook and want to know how the couple\u2019s page<\/strong> looks like, try this<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/INSERT-FACEBOOK-USERNAME-OF-FIRST-PARTNER?and=INSERT-FACEBOOK-USERNAME-OF-OTHER-PARTNER<\/p>\n

Replace the “INSERT-FACEBOOK-USERNAME-OF-FIRST-PARTNER” and “INSERT-FACEBOOK-USERNAME-OF-OTHER-PARTNER” with respective usernames and copy and paste it into the browser address bar. Hit enter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
