Facebook adds https://

At last, now facebook can be viewed securely by using https.

Why should you care ? well you should, https gives you an encrypted (secure) connection to a site you are using / viewing. https uses ssl encryption directly between your web browser and the web server you are looking at.

Like doing online banking your connection is secure and your data and information you supply to the site is secure.

https should always be used in a public hot spot environment, as your data you are sending over the air via wifi is vulnerable, with the introduction of the FireSheep utility, this brings to the fore how insecure you potentially are.

You just need to change a setting in your account security setting in your facebook profile. At time of posting this option was not available in my UK based facebook account, I could log in via https:// but was pushed back to plain old http:// no its not fully rolled out globally yet.
