Facebook Privacy for New Users


Facebook has been a great help for me as a pastor. Today, I got a tip on a good sermon illustration, received a music recommendation, and connected with a church member I haven't seen in a while. I've been able to chat with friends from all over who are important to me but might not be on speed-dial. It's also nice because it answers that common pastoral question, "What do you do all day?"

As my network of friends and acquaintances grows, however, I'm more conscious of what I post. Family pictures I'd like my friends to see might not be ones I want my community contacts to see, for example. An in-joke with another pastor might not go so well for others. I'm also more aware of privacy concerns.

Here's three links I found helpful:
