One of the things that everyone who has either a Facebook page or a Facebook profile needs to do is to go back and take a look at your privacy settings. Whenever they make a major update, go back and take a look at the privacy settings because sometimes things change. There are five key areas that you really want to take a look at.

2. Facebook lists. I am a huge user of Facebook lists. I absolutely love them. They also can be set so that some people can see some lists, and some people can see others, what you give to each other.
