[IxDA Discuss] Changes to Facebook (Perceived Privacy)

> >Opt-in and beta-testing 

A/B testing (where you show some site visitors design A and some design B,
then you measure and compare the results of each) works for sites where
there is little or no multi-user networking involved... But how does one
beta test a network-related feature on a social network site, where everyone
is interconnected? There is no networking-related feature you can test on
some users without testing them on all users (unless you can find network
"islands" where a small group of users only know each other and have no
connections to anyone else, in which case you'd probably be testing with a
highly unrepresentative group). Has anyone thought of a clever way to do
this?
