Oh, so you’re interested in how Bieber celebrated his 18th birthday?
Really? You listen to Katy Perry?
Last fall Facebook added what they call “frictionless sharing“. Under this feature, apps are able to automatically share things you do on them.
For example, if you accidentally install Facebook’s “Yahoo!” app, which can happen very easily, any article that Yahoo! thinks you read shows up on your Facebook wall with the message:
Rafi read about Jennifer Aniston’s Temper Tantrum on Yahoo!
Oh, and guess what? You can’t turn off fricti0nless sharing.
So, what should you do? You can’t turn off frictionless sharing. All you can do is uninstall the app from your Facebook account. To do this, go to your Facebook page, click on the little down-arrow at the top right of the screen and select “Privacy Setting”. On that page, select “Apps and Websites”. There, you can see what apps you have installed and remove the ones you don’t want.
All this of course assumes you don’t want everyone to know about your Bieber obsession.
