Facebook usage is very common nowadays. Some use it as a medium of socialization. Some use it as a business platform and networking. Some use it for the purpose of finding new virtual friends and re-connecting with old friends.
The concept of Facebook that allows its users to post their current status (which sometimes can be extremely personal), the food they eat, places they go, friends they hang out with, exposed its users into some kind danger.
We may want to share few things with some friends, and keep away the same information from other friends. Well, the reason to this scenario is we may have several hundreds friend in our friends list, but the one that matters to us would only be a few. Hence the need to filter what information should be available to particular friends. I am sure that as a user, we may want to protect our privacy as an individual.
To cater to the above need, Facebook actually provides customization preferences, in which users can categorized their friends according to several groups. Using this application, we would be able to protect our privacy by allowing only selected people in selected groups to view our activities.
