barnicle is excited about this. good way to stalk people. >> this is friends near you, what we're supposed to call it. and this makes it easier to find people who are near you. and this shows facebook getting smart. politico learned that facebook before it announced this new feature met with congressional staffs, met with people around washington to explain it. privacy groups said that they made changes in response to complaints about it. and so this is facebook recognizing one of the biggest collections of data on the internet, they're constantly going to be under scrutiny and trying to get ahead of that. >> it's crazy to think how much privacy we're willing to give up. remember gawker stalker where if you saw somebody that had a public persona of interest, you could go on gawker and say where you saw them. then people were outraged they're giving up my location. now we're giving up ourselves. >> and people are freaking out that in order to track the cell phone numbers they find on a terrorist's computer, we save c

this morning msnbc contributor mike barnicle spoke on "morning joe" about what the marathon means to boston and his own family's experience last year. >> everybody knows someone who runs in the marathon. that's one of the reasons it was such a violation, what happened a year ago. a year ago my son colin was at the ball game with me and fenway park, left the ballpark a little early to go to the finish line to meet a friend of his at the finish line, colin barnicle stopped for a drink and got to the finish line not when he was supposed to get there but about you know, five minutes before he was supposed to get there, the first explosion occurred, then the second explosion occurred. his friend thankfully was just up from where the explosions occurred and he was fine. there were so many memories and so many stories that are colliding here today that that's part of the magic of the day. >> that was mike barnicle earlier today. kevin collin is a columnist for "the boston globe." thank you very much. it's been an extraordinary day, beautiful day in boston. tell me about the spirit and what

i was just talking to mike barnicle about how he felt when he woke up this morning. you oversaw one of the largest manhunts in u.s. history. insofar as patriots day is a day for boston, the sort of legacy of everything that went down a year ago today, i think also, makes it another day for boston in terms of the city's resilience, the pride that its citizenry feels in the wake of tragedy and insofar as everyone came together and there is the feeling, the boston strong meme is as potent today it seeps as it was a year ago. >> indeed. >> your thoughts at this moment in time looking ahead, in terms of the city's future? >> well, you talked about it, alex, how we came together last year. it was, you know, it was the medical teams coming together to care for and comfort the people who were hurt. it was law enforcement coming together to solve the crime. it was regular citizens coming together to support each other and show acts of kindness to known and unknown folks. and think it very much has its roots in that same sense of community that might just describe, when you ta

. >> and i'm joined by boston native and msnbc contributor mike barnicle. nobody who was in that city a year ago was not directly impacted by the horrific event a year ago, and the city was on lockdown, and how does the city feel today a year later? >> well, the day is a symbol of resilience and hope, and you know after attending boston college yourself that sit is a 26-mile block party. people by the thousands line the roadways for 26 miles, and people participate in it. and everyone in greater boston and new england and perhaps throughout the country, and everyone around here knows someone who runs the marathon. that is one of the many reasons that what happened last year was so significantly devastating, because you know who participate participates. people run for various causes, for cancer awareness, for aids awareness and multiple causes. and the marathon is one thing, and what happened last year proved the resilience and the strength and the spirit that surrounds any event like that. i think that many people tomorrow remember not only the victims of
