For those concerned about their Privacy and FaceBook I recommend you go to this page and follow the instructions and see how open your Facebook profile is to the rest of the world.

This tool will help you make it more private.

Very true, and  www.securingourecity.org
Even though it's sponsored by ESET it is not a sales pitch for their product. In fact, it's not just about having antispyware software, it's a whole lot more about education and making users aware of how interconnected these social networks are, and how open to the world your postings are. Someone once said "Not everyone on the Internet is a criminal, but every criminal is on the internet."

In fact it's such a big problem now with FB that Myspace is advertising how their new default settings are Friends-only. Seen somewhere, I'll dig it up.

thanks a ton.. i'm pretty fussy about my privacy since I have family and friends ranging from 5 yrs upwards.. .. and i have my privacy settings really high. Did the test..and it all came out at the maximum privacy.
Good to know that!

Slashdot mentions a few resources to check Facebook privacy:

I think reclaimprivacy is one of them, good stuff.

 thanx! i found some settings i wasnt aware of.

By the way, i ran it again after changing settings, and it came up with new privacy breaches. Then i scanned yet again after fixing those, and again new stuff popped up! i wonder why it doesnt warn about everything during the 1st test..

 Thank you so much for that! I appriciate it a lot. I am on Facebook and contiinue to be only because of family and friends..I would leave it all-together if it wern't for them, but this tool helps a lot.

Thanks!
