What good is these other privacy options when all your friend lists can still view your wall posts ? Facebook needs to secure up the content meaning all your posts, comments, etc.

Having only friends and friends of friends is not going to cut it.

why not just use facebook for friends/family and keep everything set to private? As far as control is concerned, it doesn’t matter how much you restrict your access because your friend may have another friend who overlooks your profile while on the same computer and view the content. not to say that facebook isn’t a nice marketing tool but there’s no fool proof method to isolate your content if you decide to place it online. don’t assume also that your media automatically disappears either once deleted from the website. bottom line? be very selective what you publish.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. Facebook is a powerful media tool but you have to separate your personal and professional contacts.

I have a question – how about controlling who sees your “Pages” – the ones you have become a fan of? I don’t see “Pages” as an application or as a section whose privacy I can change.

Would be really nice to have control over this, too. (Really, really nice to have control over which, individual pages show up in your list, but that may be a bit TOO granular.)

Thank you. This is the best tutorial I’ve seen on managing Facebook relationships.
I found just 3 lists to be adequate. Full, Limited, and Related.

FaceBook changed its layout, therefore the location of the Privacy Settings has changed. Here are the directions to manage your settings. You have to go to "Settings" on the top of the screen in the middle right and select "Application Settings". You then see all your FaceBook applications that you used in the past month. Where is says "Show:" scroll down to "Added to Profile" . You will then see all your FaceBook applications attached to your profile. Click on "Edit Settings" on any of the applications and a pop-up box will show up. You can then see under the "Profile" menu, the "Privacy:". By the lock icon, you can then select who can see the application on your profile.

I too created a friends list, but the “some friends” or “custom” is not showing up in options in the privacy settings.

Any suggestions?

Hello Jennifer,
You have to customize privacy for each application, not separately.
