I got this through on FB today......
If you don't know, as of today, Facebook will automatically index all your info on Google, which allows everyone to view it. To change this option, go to Settings --> Privacy Settings --> Search --> then UN-CLICK the box that says 'Allow indexing'. Facebook kept this one quiet. Copy and paste on...to your status for all your friends ASAP
I tried it before I changed my settings and it showed all my friends on facebook...I have changed my settings and now you can't see them.

I wasn't sure if it was true so I checked my name before I changed my settings and it showed the names of all my friends...flipping cheek.

I did it Missy ( but I don't understand what you meant by the last bit...what do you copy and paste for friends?) although I don't think I'm bothered about what anyone sees as I don't write much - should I be, do you think? I only joined because my DIL shares her photos through Facebook ( says it's easier) and she uses it to e mail too ( she has a temperemental Apple Mac). I only have 2 friends ( Norma No-Mates or what?? ;D ;D) but I don't care cos I don't think it's really for oldies like me

Snowy...if you google your name it comes up with your name and if you click on it, it then shows your friends on FB..
If you change your settings as above it is supposed to stop you showing up on google.

I joined FB so my DIL could share her photos with me easily. I don't like to look too closely at her "wall" of comments...........too much information!! I reassured my son that I wouldn't dream of asking to be his friend.......what you don't know, you can't fret about!! ;D ;D I am on there Tig..but no piccy as yet ( don't want to frighten the horses!!) ;D ;D
