Facebook sticky situation...advice please!
So, I have been trying to figure the Facebook thingy out and I think I like it although I am still learning. I would like to have some fun with it but my boss is one of my "friends".

Everything comment made, every group joined, every damn thing you do on there and it gets posted to all your "friends".

Is there a way to block certain actions? Or maybe a way to block certain "friends" from receiving all the damn updates?


And yes, I thought about deleting, but that would be posted too and a little obvious.

1. 2 things.
1. You can set up groups for your friends and control who sees what.

2. Removal of friends is not posted. You would just no longer show up in your boss's friend list.

4. I believe so.
Since you would have to request them again. I think. Not sure. But I think so.

2. It doesn't show who you delete.
Just delete your boss from your friends list.

7. My boss would notice...
I might do it when she isn't paying attention and has more friends. ;)

5. Upper right-hand corner
of your home page...settings...privacy settings...profile...basic. Type in your boss's name under "See how a friend sees your profile:" and you can limit how much your boss can see of activity on your page.

10. Go to your privacy settings
And go from there.

And on a more positive note, here's the DU Facebook group!

11. Go to the privacy settings. You can set different things for different actions.

You can even customize who can see what (although IIRC there is no "everyone but X" option) The most useful feature is the one that lets you view your page as the other person would see it. Use that to audit your customization work
