Safety on the Internet is a number one concern for many of us who regularly cruise the Web. Learning to use these Facebook privacy settings will help you do just that. In a matter of minutes your online safety will become a lot more private, or not.
Even though Facebook is going Google, you can still keep your Facebook posts and photos private from the public. Facebook has really gone out of it's way to create a ton of ways for you to choose privacy settings for your Facebook profile. With all the profile settings and different levels involved in each of the different profile settings, you can pick and choose and choose and pick your way to the profile privacy settings of your choice.
I for one really appreciate all the hard work that goes into Facebook's privacy settings. Although they make writing about them a long and arduous task. There are so many settings and so many ways to set each setting, I had to come up with a unique way to tell you about them...(here they are... Facebook Profile Settings)
o Exploring the Facebook Privacy Search Page
o Adjust Privacy Settings In Facebook
o Keep Teens Safe With Facebook Privacy Settings
I would love to hear from some of you about what you think about Facebook's attempts to keep your Facebook profile posts private? Or, what you think about Facebook adding posts to google? Come on, I know you have an opionion!

People like playing games and games of chance are among the favorites of choice. Here are some gambling games you can play on Facebook to destress and have a little fun. There are scratch and win tickets, a virtual slot machine and poker games you can play against other Facebook members and friends.
I really enjoyed playing these games, especially the scratch and win and the slot machines, I'm not much of a poker player. I played until all my credits were gone, then I earned some more credits and played some more. Bought some virtual prizes so I can move up a level. I'm really close to that next level, I can almost taste it.
This was a fun, non-thinking, way to relieve some stress and pass some time, not that I have a lot of time to pass. It didn't really take away a whole lot of my time, but I did feel like I was getting somewhere in the game and accomplishing something. Here are some more fun things you can do on Facebook:

Power.com Sues Facebook. Is Facebook a Monopoly?
Monday July 13, 2009
Does anyone know anything else about this. Apparently, Facebook shut down Power.com's access to Facebook. All they wanted to do was allow their users to get all their social networking in one place. You would be able to go to Power.com and see all your updates from sites like Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, Orkut, Hi5, and a few others, including Facebook.
"But in January, Facebook sued Power.com and blocked its access." ~Nicholas Carlson, Silicon Alley Insider
What I find particularly odd about this is that Power.com is not the first company to have the idea of allowing people to get their social networking from one place. I don't know for sure whether they're the first to include Facebook, I doubt it though.
Why would Facebook shut them down? This is another oddity. Facebook has been making huge strides to increase their page views lately. Maybe they're trying to hang onto every little page view they can get.
Personally, I think it's a little silly of Facebook to shut down a company who's promoting their website for them for free. It may be drawing some traffic away, but ultimately, if the people getting their updates want to post back, they'll have to do it from Facebook, won't they?
