Maintaining Your Privacy in Facebook

Create lists. Go to Account and Edit Friends. Create New List. Enter a name for the list such as teammates, church family, or drinking buddies. Choose friends by clicking on their photo and then click on Create List. To send a facebook message to just that list, go to a new message and in the TO box start typing the name of the group.  The group name pops up and you can send it off to just that list!

What is missing in Facebook is the ability to customize the news feeds: for example, if you only want your gamer friends to see your game updates you are out of luck. It used to be editable and they took it out. Grrrr! The newsfeed edit options are almost non-existant. You can hide and show individuals, but not how your newsfeed feeds.
Got friends from high school on your list? Suppose they tag you with a photo of you from 1974 in a loud print shirt? It hasn't happened to me yet, but right now I have my settings to inform only me when I am tagged.  Go to Account and Privacy Settings. Choose Photos and Videos and drop down to Customize. You can choose Only Me or you can create a customized list.

Don't put you are going on vacation! Robbers use that opportunity to break into your house.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Janet
