David retweeted a very useful article by New York Times this morning. And I spent nearly 10 minutes reconfiguring my Facebook privacy. It was a good 10-minutes spent to ensure my personal data is secured.
And for the ladies, did you know if I Googled your name, normally your Facebook account will be in the search results? Now you do. So I’m writing a visual tutorial for you to prevent Google from finding your Facebook account.
Step 1: Go to Privacy Settings under Account
After you’ve logged into Facebook, look at the top right corner and click Account. The Privacy Settings is in the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Click Search
Step 3: Uncheck the Allow
And, you’re done. But like any optimization exercise, it ain’t magic. You’ll need to give Uncle Google time to get up. How long exactly I don’t know. But be a little patient. :)
haha what’s wrong letting ppl search your facebook on google or yahoo? just set your privacy whereby only friends could view your profile will do the trick?
That’s because you’re not a hot chic who may have had one too many stalkers. :P
owh.. now i know.. thank for the tips.. :-)
Thank god there is a solution..!! :)
