We summarize here, but the full article by Nick O'Neill www.allfacebook.com is a great read, and something I wish I had written. Facebook is a great tool, but in a world where information and identity theft is rampant, you should know how to protect yourself from, well, yourself.
1) Use of Friends lists to group your friends into logical groups.This allows you to grant different access rights to different groups of people.
2) Remove yourself from Facebook search results. As a writer, my family is chock full of teachers. For the most part, do not want their students to find random personal information from a search on Facebook, but still want to be on Facebook for family and friends. The solution? Remove yourself from Facebook search results. You can do this from the "Search privacy settings" page.
3) Remove the Facebook yourself from the search results Google. As you know if you have the Google yourself (not everyone does it?) Your Facebook profile will end very quickly.You can remove yourself from Google searches with "Search privacy settings" page - deselect "Create Public Listing Search for me ..." checkbox.
4) Check to see tagged photos - you can do from the page of the privacy of your profile. The cool thing is, if you set the teams your friends right, you can allow access to images from the label group. This way your picture that you do not want your boss to see you will not ignite.
5) Check to see your photo albums - and tagged photos, not all images are for all eyes. See page Privacy photographs. From there you can control who sees what. Very convenient.
6) Check the status of how your relationship will appear in news feeds. Everyone likes to tout their relationship, but you really want everyone (the boss, business contacts) to know? Uncheck the "relationship status Change" in News Feed and Wall section of your privacy settings. This will prevent people from seeing a difference to your relationship with food news.
7) Be sure that applications will not publish posts annoying news feed. Many of the applications you register for publication on your news feed that is potentially embarrassing. Be sure that you scan your profile every time you install an application, or better yet, avoid applications altogether.
8) Check to see your contact information. If you use Facebook for business and personal contacts, you can control who sees what contact information from you using your Friends Groups. You can add multiple e-mail address and contact phone then edit the custom privacy settings for each control to see.
9) Avoid embarrassing wall posts. Facebook allows you to control not only the messages on your wall, but who can see those posts. In Profiles, you can change who posts on your wall by choosing "custom" from "Wall Posts" drop down. From there you can use your Friends groups to control who views and who sees what.
10) Like your hands, keep your friends for yourself. I love seeing who is friends with my friends, but some people do not want to share, and in some cases, there is probably a good idea to share. Once again, you can customize who can view your friends list by using the friends of your group.
There are countless ways to control your privacy on Facebook, but you should take the time to sort through the settings. Friends group is a great place to start and ensure that you separate your business and personal contacts. Know your privacy settings!
