This earthquake apparently shook up more than just the east coast, seeing as Facebook has rolled out significant changes.  While these adjustments range from Places check-ins to privacy settings, Tech Crunch hypothesizes that these changes are a reaction to Google+.

While you can check out full details of the changes here, I’m most excited about the new photo approval settings.  Now, you can tag anyone in a photo (friend or not), but the catch is “you will always be able to approve these tags before they go live on your profile.”  They’ve also changed the detag process, where a user can detag a photo completely, or just remove it from your profile.

These are just a few of the new options Facebook has given users to be completely in control of what shows up on your profile.  We’re digging it.  A lot.
