This is why I limited my Facebook profile to have almost no information and when I signed up a few weeks ago, I scoured the settings to ensure that everything was set to friends only. Man. They should include a pop-up box or something to warn ya when they think they're gonna change your privacy settings for *anything*... especially with the issues about blogging/MySpace and work coming up in the media more and more. Thanks for alerting us, Josh! Augh.

Now Wales is a country, not just a city! Enter dismay, etc. Thought I'd been careful. Other thing, close off your profile for public listings; for search engines such as Google to pick up. This is only something that I'd picked up via wider tech blog at the time when this was opened up. Pictures - you going to cover this in more depth? Have restricted some pictures so only university friends can see. Some of them are perhaps too compromising for more work orientated contacts. Good on you for covering this though. Am sure people out there will find it useful. :) I fell into the same trap a few months ago with Wales (the network I belong to). Now Wales is a country, not just a city!
