Facebook Tutorials: Customizing Your Privacy Experience Using the New Friend List Privacy Feature

by Teresa Valdez Klein on March 19, 2008

I made a video this morning that details how Facebook’s new Friend List Privacy feature works. It’s a really cool way to customize the experience your friends have of your Facebook presence depending on how well you know them.

Great insights. It’s worth also spending a moment with the “Preferences” link near the top-right-ish area of the “Home” page. It allows general promoting or demoting of specific “types” of news from friends, and also lets you turn up the volume on people you want to hear more about…and turn it down on others. Worth spending a few moments on…adds a lot of fine tuning. Enjoy!

Thanks for the tutorial. Teresa. I just joined, and don’t have any previous primitive version of grouping friends. I don’t see anything on the right side that creates lists of some friends from scratch. Also, if you create a “professionals list” and someone is also on another list, the total list or a “friends” list, will they be able to see the content I ban the professionals lists from? I can’t believe there’s no convenient explanation of these things on Facebook (that I could find), but I’d really appreciate any comments that you or anyone else can make. Thanks!
