Article on Facebook Privacy from CNN

In my Social Media Crash Course Workshop, I spend a great deal of time talking about your privacy settings in Facebook.  I cannot tell you how important it is to go and reset these as your life may be more of an open book than you think!  CNN has written a great article about this, you can read it here.

Simply put, Facebook Applications can access any information you have set to EVERYONE as well as your publicly available information.  Which includes name, current city, and friend information to name a few.  Super creepy, huh?

The “I don’t want to pay for no stinkin’ workshop” fix?  Visit your Facebook Privacy Settings and have a look around and see what information you are sharing and make some changes.  Don’t know where your privacy settings live on Facebook? Look in the top right of your Facebook screen under Account, and you will find they are the third option from the top.  Go, make some ch-ch-ch-changes!
