'Hiding' your Friends...

Do you often wish you could hide your friends from other people? Are you ashamed of them (no, not really!)? Well, in the Facebook, you can! Well, sort of. You can hide your friends list from people who are not your friends, and stop the 'Facebook follow' dead in its tracks.

Here's how:

On your profile page, find the friends box (under your picture). Click on the little blue pencil in the corner which allows you to change settings. When the pop-up box appears, you will see a place to select whether or not you want to show your friends list to everyone. Uncheck that little box. Et voila, your friends list is only visible to your friends from now on.

Also, you can check to see what is visible to non-friends and friends when you edit your privacy settings. In the privacy settings options, you will see at the top of the page (or near it), this option: Preview my Profile. If you click on it, you see what is visible to the general public, and you can also type in one of your contacts to see what is visible to them.

Cool, eh?
