Steps To Control Your Facebook Post Frivacy
1. Make a “Friends” List – separate business & family
2. Use privacy selector
3. Choose Custom
4. Select visibility and / or hide post from any person or list
Now, when you need to post about that thing going on that required a emergency doctors visit, you can share it privately to your family…. while preventing your family from being flooded with business posts.
Facebook now comes with some “smart lists” (which have the colored icons). I don’t like these much as they are autogenerated and change and do not obey many of the rules. I tend to ignore the ones with the colored icons and make my own.
Like it? Love it? Tweet it, Like it, Digg it & leave me a message! I can’t wait to hear the great ideas you guys come up with for using this cool feature!
PS: When structuring your custom lists, think similar to Google Circles. You want just enough to get by and definitely not too many. Making a dozen lists will make you not use them. I separate out “Near & Dear”, Family, Close collaborators, Fans & All SM Contacts and two or three other lists. Don’t make too many.
