For the last two years as the real-time social Web has swept the world, Google ( GOOG ) has watched nervously as upstarts Facebook and Twitter have exploded in popularity. Although Google remains a prodigious moneymaker , it’s no longer the anointed Internet prodigy.

This month, Facebook made a sneaky change to its privacy settings, and the new policy is generating a fierce backlash . The social network’s default privacy setting now allows anyone to see a user’s personal information. While users are permitted to change those settings, through an option to limit how much information they share, many don’t yet realize that their Facebook updates can suddenly be seen across the Web. That’s not what most users signed up for, and many are angry.

Filed under: Media , General Electric , Comcast General Electric ( GE ), the massive industrial conglomerate that owns 80% of NBC Universal, has finally reached a deal to buy the remaining 20% from French media giant Vivendi for $5.8 billion, according to multiple reports.
