I've ignored Facebook for quite some time, mainly because I thought it was for a younger generation who liked to also text each other every five minutes. However, I've been engaged on the site a lot lately. What got me interested were all of the friend requests that I started receiving. For some reason, all of my old friends from school and places I've lived in the past started to come out of the woodworks.

It didn't take long until I had a lot of friends – many of whom are simply acquaintances or friends I barely know anymore. That's when I started getting concerned about my privacy. I found myself posting a lot of photos of my family and updating my status at least once a day (the free Facebook app iPhone didn't help that habit). Fortunately, Facebook makes it easy control your privacy settings in Facebook. I made this screencast video that shows you how easy it is.
