Facebook Privacy and Google

Thursday July 2, 2009

Peter Kafka of Media Memo does a great job of summarizing the policy chance that's going to involve Facebook's privacy settings. For those who didn't hear, Facebook messages, photos, comments, videos, and just about everything else you post, will now be searchable on Google.

Never fear, I'm hear to lay your fears to rest. Facebook has lots of privacy settings you can use to keep your information right on Facebook and off Google. I have a round of short "how to's" coming up that will help you understand how to use Facebook's privacy features. If you want your private messages to stay on Facebook and not on Google, you can do it, I'm going to show you how.

While you're waiting. Here are some already written tutorials about Facebook privacy features to help you get started:
