"Turns out Facebook employees can (and do) check out anyone's profile. Not only that, but they also see which profiles a user has viewed -- a major privacy violation." - via Valleywag.

IF this is true, these are pretty serious allegations. It's one thing for a DBA to go into SQL and look at the data in there; it's a whole another thing if they've developed features specifically for all employees of Facebook.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that Facebook uses this feature to generate your News Feed. You get more stories of profiles that you visit often. This could just be confirmation bias, but it's generally the case for me.
