Facebook introduced another one of those features that people are either going to love or going to hate. Facebook is now rolling out Friendship Pages which will display all the already visible interactions between two friends.

This could be a great way to take a trip down memory lane, but it will also neatly put on display in the same place all the things that you may not want to have showcased.

"I'm excited to be launching Friendship Pages. They contain the public Wall posts and comments between two friends, photos in which both are tagged, Events they RSVP'd for together and more," Wayne Kao, a software engineer at Facebook, announced.

"You'll be able to see a friendship page if you are friends with one of the people and have permission to view both people's profiles," he added.

"When it's between two people who share a lot, the page really starts to reflect their friendship. You can find a friendship page from links under relevant Wall posts, under relationship stories and under the main photo on a friend's profile page," he explained.

It's not hard to understand the potential of the feature. On Facebook, interactions happen in a lot of places. Sometimes you start a conversation commenting on a photo, sometimes on a link or a status update.

With Friendship Pages, everything is in one place. This is great if you want to see what you and a friend have been talking about, where have you been together and so on.

However, the tricky thing is that all this activity is also viewable by mutual friends. Of course, all of the individual comments, photos and so on are already visible, but aggregating them makes them all the more public.

It's unclear if users will be able to opt-out or if there will be privacy settings related to the new feature. It's clear that at least some people don't like the idea. Facebook gets this sort of criticism for almost all of the features like this, so, hopefully, the site has learned its lesson by now. The feature is in the process of being rolled out and will be available to everyone eventually.
