Facebook hits 350 million user mark; Nukes regions

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg delivered an open letter to his customers, noting that the company was officially going to ditch regional networks. Facebook also has 350 million people using it. The move to ditch regional networks is long overdue. Why? A lot of folks are multi-regional. Why do I have to pick the Princeton area when I could do Hoboken. Or New York. Or Philly. Or Delaware. You get the idea. You move around a bit and regional networks just get silly.

The big upshot is that users will have to update their privacy settings under a "simpler model for privacy control."

However, if you really want to know what Zuckerberg was saying I'll send you to Caroline McCarthy at CNet News. She has a really handy translation.
