It's all about the timing.

On the one hand, you offer a loud piece of news that oh, no, people can't keep themselves private from Facebook's Graph Search anymore.

On the other, there emerges a whisper that you've bought four houses around your own in order to secure a little more, well, you know, seclusion.

Yes, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly dug deep into his jeans, found $30 million, and exchanged them for four houses adjacent to his own in Palo Alto, Calif.

As the San Jose Mercury News tells it, this isn't really out of fear that mooching paparazzi will move in next door, take photographs of him mowing the lawn, and put them up on, say, Facebook.

Well, actually it rather is.

For Facebook's CEO reportedly heard word that an unscrupulous someone was trying to buy one of the neighboring houses and then market it as "The House Next Door to Mark Zuckerberg."

Gosh, that would be like taking someone's Facebook profile picture and using it to sell a 55-gallon tub of lube.
