There is a new tool to check your own privacy settings in your Facebook account.
Called StalkScan at https://stalkscan it will identify which material that is available in the public arena or that you have made available to friends.
1. Go to your own Facebook profile and actually log out before running the search.
2. You will see what information you are making public for other people to see.
3. You can click on any of 40 filters in eight subject areas such as Profile, People, Comments, Interests, etc. Stalkscan will then open the Facebook page that provides that information and you can see what you have made publicly available.
4. Note down any areas you need to tighten up on and then log into your Facebook account to change settings as needed.
