I recently realized that I’m very cautious about updating my facebook status. As a consequence of the spectrum of people I have on my friend’s list including co-workers, my bosses, close friends, not so close friends, and peers, I’m often aware that a simple status update could (and would likely) cause unanticipated angst.
This is boils down to a long requested facebook ‘friend grouping’ feature. This would expand on the existing set of information disclosure settings they to provide (limited profile access, full access, or various access controls on various parts of your profile).
Alternatively, I was thinking I might just create one (or more) additional accounts… which leads me to wonder how many people have multiple accounts for similar reasons.
I guess I’ll just have to update my status with less insightful, carefully considered, bland details. Or not at all.
