Useful For Sure
A most useful article.
Personally I have found that 12 months ago I could draw the line between Facebook friends and Twitter or LinkedIn business friends. Now it seems to be that all these boundaries are merged and people I network with are networked on the platform(s) of their choice, and that can be Facebook for business too.
It is useful to know this as you describe, but for me I still work by the way that what I post is for anyone to see and its just me as I am, take it or leave it, as you wish. If I start going down the line to control who sees what then I better avoid posting at all.
I know it will be different for different people, but i find this way simpler: for now anyway !

What a faff, especially as most problem posts are the ones on the way back from the pub!
Too Complicated
Thanks for the post.
I couldn't see how to stop people seeing if they are in that group or how to change the name of the group once I had created it (in case the previous step didn't work).
Looks very complicated. I think the easiest thing is not let people be FB friends if you don't want them to know what you are like.
Thoughts from the article's author
Chatman, I agree it's a complicated process. I reworked the article a couple of times to streamline it as best as I could, but I think everyone will agree that the privacy settings in Facebook are comprised of chutes and ladders, surrounded by funhouse mirrors.Phil and La Bois Saint, I agree about being selective about posting on Facebook, but at least now there's a way to split the difference as the social media boundaries blur together.Sayed, thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful!
