Anyone familiar with Facebook knows that profiles are for friends, pages for the public. But every now and then, Facebook developers like to shake up the interverse with controversial changes. (Remember the Facebook "stalker feed" you used to complain about - before you became addicted to status updates?)
Now, Facebook users can avoid all the hassle of maintaining and updating a separate page by adding the new "Subscribe" feature to their profiles.

Use the inline audience selector on your individual posts to determine who can see what you're adding to your wall. Facebook outlines this feature in more detail on their "Privacy Settings" page.
