Being able to talk about what you are working on is a good thing. Sometimes the whole "we don't pre-announce" world that big companies can get involved in is a real pain.

It is great to see In the works as a section of "What's New" at Facebook:

Sort out your friends.

We’ll let you organize that long list of friends into groups so you can decide more specifically who sees what.

Facebook emails in digest form.

It’s tough being popular, and it can clutter your inbox too. Once-a-day emails with all of your notifications are on the way.

One of the great features of open source done right (e.g. open!) is the ability to preannounce in style.
