Chances are, most Facebook users have encountered some feature or flaw--from overarching privacy concerns to assorted interface annoyances--that made them reconsider their membership in the social network.

Double-Sided Design Solves Painfully Universal USB Problem Sometimes something begs for a simple solution.
