Facebook, the worlds #1 social media outlet recently made changes to user privacy control settings.
Founder Mark Zuckerberg made a statement last week indicating these enhanced privacy controls were requested by many of the 350 million users around the globe. These changes will put the control of who can access your profile, pictures and status updates in your hands.
The changes are great - but you should take a moment to check the privacy settings on your own account on the new system.
Click on Settings> Privacy Settings> Profile Information
This is where you can control who can see your account and how much information is visible, such as profile, information, pictures, etc.
Something you will notice; you have control over who can see your Status Updates. You now have the option to send your broadcast your Status Updates to everyone, to only your friends, or to friends of friends. Again, you can set this privacy control inside the Privacy Settings area of your account.
Another change; you can control whether you permit Facebook to publish your name as a 'fan' of a advertising banner. To check your settings, click on Settings> Account Settings> Facebook Ads.
One last suggestion while you are doing this little house-keeping, you might want to clean out (delete) any 'questionable' photos...you know the ones I am talking about. Sure, you can prevent non-friends from seeing these pictures, but what happens if your new boss becomes a new Facebook friend? I might have just saved you an embarrasing moment.
