Although Facebook does not allow the ability to hide friends getting new friends messages,
friends becoming fans of something, and some application messages they can still be hidden

installing the Facebook Purity add-on.
*UPDATE YOUR PRIVACY SETTING
Click Account in the top right corner of the Facebook window and then click Privacy settings
to adjust who is capable of seeing what on your Facebook profile. We highly recommend going
through all the privacy settings to verify your privacy is properly protected.
Anything that is not set to friends only or friends of friends can be seen by anyone
searching on the Internet. Below is a few things we recommend for most users.
Under Search in Privacy settings uncheck Public Search Results. This will prevent users
from finding your account and profile picture in search results such as Google
Under Application settings, make sure you're only allowing applications you want to have
access to your information. Applications that you grant rights to can have access to your

*Home (facebook logo) - Clicking this logo will take you to your wall (News Feed) that shows
all friends recent posts.

notification of how many friends are waiting for approval. This icon can also be clicked
when you want to view any friend recommendations or search for friends on Facebook.
*Messages - This section allows you to send and receive private messages between one or more
people you're friends with.
*Notifications - Any time a friend or Facebook application creates a new post you'll be
notified in this section. Clicking this icon will show all recent notifications. If you wish
to change what is capable of sending you notifications including any Facebook applications
or games click the See All Notifications link at the bottom and check or uncheck what you
want to be notified on.

quickly find any current friends or people on Facebook. In addition searching for terms such
as a company name, product, sports team, music band, etc. will find fan pages and groups
that can be joined.

Keep your e-mail and your cell phone clean by updating or eliminate Facebook notifications
or keep more up-to-date by adding new notifications. Facebook notifications can be added and
removed by clicking Account link in the top right corner, then Account Settings, and then
clicking the Notifications tab.
*Top News and Most Recent
By default Facebook will display your wall postings in the News format, which means it only
displays posts it believes are most relevant to you. These results are based on your past
interaction with your friends. If you want to see every post made by all your friends that
are not hidden click the Most recent link in the upper right section of your news feed as
shown in the above picture example.

corner of your news feed.

classmates and co-workers on Facebook by clicking the link in your Info tab under your
profile.
*Quickly change profile picture
Your profile picture can be quickly changed to any other picture by visiting your profile,
hovering the mouse over your current profile picture, and clicking the Change Picture link
that appears in the top right corner of the picture.
Don't post private information on friend's walls on in comments
When you make a post on a friend's wall or in any of their comments realize that any of
their friends are going to be able to see that post. If you wish for something to remain
only between you and a friend send them a Facebook message instead.
*Suggestions and random friend invites
As you get more friends on Facebook it will begin making friend, groups, and fan
suggestions. These are suggestions made by Facebook and not your friends. Unless these are
something you're interested in they can be ignored.
This same rule can be applied to people who may want to be your friend that you don't know.
If you don't know someone don't accept his or her friend invite. Once someone becomes your
friend they'll have access to any information your friends are capable of seeing.
*Tag your Facebook friends in your photos
Always make sure to tag any of your Facebook friends that are in pictures you upload.
However, never tag someone who is not in the picture. When someone is tagged in a photo that
picture is automatically added to that persons profile and is a great way to share pictures
with all friends.
