Judge a book by it's public information

Facebook has become a worldwide craze. Initially directed at college students, it has taken off. It;s being used by children under ten and adults over 90. Along with the population, Facebook is also a well used avenue for businesses of all kinds. When thinking about this, it's obvious why privacy should be a concern. Facebook privacy is everything about what information is allowed to who.

Currently, my personal privacy settings show that I only trust the people I am friends with, although it only to a certain extent. There are photos and other things of me that are fully public but certainly nothing that would be detrimental to myself in anyway. Professionally, this says I am open enough to be out in the stream but smart enough to keep my things to the people I want.

I will not be making any changes to my privacy settings. While learning the privacy material is very important for future use, it doesn't concern me too much at this time.
