facebook question

when you remove *mini stories* does your friends see them?

I don't want my EVERY ACTION to be publicized... then everyone will know I am not working and tooling around the internet

Facebook had me one day. I was rating people and had no idea I was sending them emails letting them know.

I have no idea how to work the new facebook and can't even tell you if people know.

Be my friend and I'll tell you if it's in my feed

No they don't see them if you remove it. Facebook is so confusing but I think I'm getting the hang of it...just when I got the hang of myspace!

no I mean when I add a new person, or chnage something in my profile or add new pictures... there is a wall that says 'what just added new photos... what just joined so & so network.'

that ish... it bothers me so I delete them... I can't see them anymore on my page but I wonder if OTHER people still get the alerts

ya I always see what my friends have recently done. And I sort of don't care but have no idea as to how to get rid of it. I also think its weird that like if I leave a message for a good friend, other people are notified about it.

Re: facebook question

if you go to privacy and then mini feed the options are there.. if you uncheck everything i think it doesnt show up on yours and on that intro page you get when you first log in and see what everyone else has been up to..

i think..

i have them all unchecked too.. so far i think its working...

I am new to facebook also and received 2 requests for the little green patches from the same person. I had no idea what to do with it, so I ignored it.

I feel the same way. I think it records every thing you do and publishes it.

Re: facebook question

once you delete/hide it, it shouldnt be showing to everyone. i hate that too. but i think you can actually change your privacy settings to not show any of your activity.

i love that right when i was getting used to the chaos of facebook, they revamped it a couple days ago!! at least they said it makes it more user friendly. we'll see.

I just changed everything to 'Friends Only' in my privacy section. Check it out up on the top of the screen.

I think you just have to change the settings as well!!! It is annoying to see so may feeds.

You can pick what it advertises on preferences. I don't add any applications (except Scrabulous....sad....) They're annoying. But I love getting in touch with old friends!!!
