Facebook Gets Nosier Than Ever

Facebook recently made it even simpler to pry into your friends' private affairs on the social network. Specifically, the Ask button -- which already has been available to those seeking more information about many other aspects of a given user's life -- now is an option when it comes to a user's relationship status as well. "This feature provides an easy way for friends to ask you for information that's not already on your profile," said MoMo Zhou, a Facebook spokesperson. "For example, a friend could ask where you work or for your hometown."
