my extended family will never gain access to my facebook page, not even cousins

2/5/2009 1:19:03 AM

create privacy access lists

Friends

Relatives

Coworkers

give each of them their own permissions... no wall post views, no pictures, no status updates, no personal info, etc

I'm probably the only one but I kind of feel like it's inappropriate for bosses to add their subordinates on Facebook. I guess the combo of me feeling like they were trying to snoop and the idea of your personal life being separate from your work life."

No, I agree. I just actually had to have an uncomfortable conversation with a co-worker about this, and the person tried to force the issue by sending a friend request anyway. I use Facebook for personal purposes, not professional networking - don't need professional contacts in my personal business snooping 24/7.

That's pretty shitty that they would try to make a dumb point by adding you after the fact.

Anyway, that's what LinkedIn is for

so true

I'd never add a co-worker....all their trying to do is fill their gossip need. Some stuff on there is personal, not that I'd care if they knew really - but id prefer them to stay out of my business!! mainly because I don't like you!!

block them

or if you have to add them give them limited access to your profile.
like...remove the wall

I put on my status that I was going to Baltimore and my Aunt commented on it saying that they would visit. God dammit.

2/5/2009 10:49:06 AM

my aunt and uncles have as well. it's weird, because i'd feel bad if i denied their requests, but i don't want them seeing all my shit

and i'm too lazy to want to do permissions

this thread is the precise reason why i refuse to create a facebook account

2/5/2009 10:54:05 AM

ha, the only family member on my friends list is my cousin.

2/5/2009 10:55:20 AM

Well my family likes to gossip and my cousins totally blew up my spot once.

They have now been put on limited profile status and sees NOTHING.

2/5/2009 11:01:10 AM
