Separating Personal & Business Life on Facebook




Facebook is a great tool for rekindling old friendships and promoting your business, but how do you keep your two worlds separate? The answer is a little known feature called 'Friends Lists'.


Most users Facebook has all his friends in one big messy list. By grouping your friends into different lists, you can begin to manage privacy and access levels for each group. For example, you can stvoritipopis for 'Book Club' Then, make announcements, photo galleries, and events that only your book club can see there are some very important things to remember about friends lists ..:


    Buddies can belong to more than one list
    Buddies Lists can have separate privacy policies apply to them


for the basic set-up, I would create three groups: .. "Friends, " "Family" and "Professional" These three groups can then be used to apply different rules of privacy, for example, You May want your friends to see photos from the party you were at last night, but you do not want your family or professional contacts to see those pictures.


Use the friends list is also very useful for organizing your friends, if you have a lot of them. For example, I have about 20 friends list and I categorize people in the city (New York, San Francisco, DC, Tel Aviv, etc.), where I met them (conferences, past collaborators, through this blog), and my relationship with them (professional, familial, social, etc. ).


can use Facebook friends lists to control which groups can have access to your photo gallery. Share photos of your children with their "family" but not "associates" or "business associates". Only allow "college friends"and not the potential employers to see your drunk party photos.
