Just wanted to post an update on a post that I had made earlier about Facebook privacy.

Facebook has rolled out some new privacy features that are definitely a welcome change.

You can now fine-tune the information you share to specific friends or friend lists. So you can make friend lists for “Family”, some for “Colleagues” and some for “Dudes I’ve Never Met But Friended Me Anyways”.

To set the new options, click on privacy in the top right corner of facebook and set your Custom settings there. This combined with Friend Lists add a great amount of fine-grained privacy controls.

Do you bother with the privacy controls on Facebook?
