New Facebook ‘Ask’ Feature

So you know I am not always a big fan of how Facebook decides to improve my life and Facebook experience.  That said, I think this new 'Ask' feature makes a lot of sense in protecting yourself and family from what are really in a lot of cases strangers. Gone are the days where you could simply look at someone's Facebook profile to see vitals such as their relationship status and phone number without them knowing.

Now, you have to ask. Facebook has introduced an "Ask" button so friends can ask about their relationship status, where they live, or what their phone number is.

The feature doesn't allow you to see the button on your own profile. But friends are able to ask about any information you haven't decided to show, so long as they include a note along with the request.
