Shhhh.../Interesting article of the day

In an increasingly digital world, it can be difficult to maintain some sort of privacy--ESPECIALLY online. How many of you guys have Facebook pages and don't know who half your "friends" are? Those drunken pics you took at last night's party could easily be forwarded to thousands of peeps you don't know. And some who you know all too well: Your boss, your current boyfriend or girlfriend (lol)... YO MAMA.

For those of you who want to share yourself with the world but don't want errybody all up in yo business, here's a little tutorial on how to make a friends list on Facebook.

1. Click the "Friends" tab at the top of the page


2. On the left-hand sidebar, click "Make a New List"


3. Name your list (I named mine "People I Don't Really Know Like That")

4. Add people's names to the list

5. From here, go to "Settings" at the top of the page


6. Click on "Privacy Settings"

7. Under "Privacy," click "Profile"


8. Click one of the drop down tabs. The last option should be "Customize..."

9. At the bottom of the pop-up window you should see a highlighted area that reads "Except These People." In the box underneath this, type in your newly created friends list


This is optional, but if you really want to make sure the people on your list are only viewing what you want them to see of your page, Facebook lets you see how specific people view your page.


Voila! You're now a member of the Anti-Stalking Brigade.
