Now that we all know Facebook is one great big whole where our entire lives are open to the public, I've learned about a couple great ways to fix these problems once and for all.

Follow the instructions and I promise you'll be both amazed about just how exposed you are, and secondly how you can plug up these holes so you're no longer exposed to the entire world. I've worked both of the above sites through on my FaceBook and it works!

I find Facebook useful, mostly as a way to stay in touch with a select set of my friends and former co-workers. It's not my public soapbox nor a window into my personal life, left open to the world — for that, I have blogs and Twitter.
As much as I like Facebook, it has a flaw that I'll never see in my blogs and hopefully never see with Twitter. It seems the proprietors of Facebook find it necessary, desirable, or profitable to change member privacy settings, usually with little notice to members. In every case I can think of, privacy settings have become more relaxed — more open, if you will.]
