In response to Emmy: "Get Smarter Facebook! You're driving me mad."

Emmy: "Get Smarter Facebook! You're driving me mad."

Facebook certainly has taken over the lives of a number of Gen Yers. I also agree that there is such a thing has having too many friends, especially with the addition of "people you might know" you find yourself reunited with your kindergarten sweetheart. I believe that the creators of Facebook see this as an advantage and they are helping you to reconnect with people in your past because for some reason writing a private message on Facebook seems a whole lot better than writing an email (let alone a letter).

In regards to you wanting some friends to see specific sections of your profile, when you select a friend you are given the option of allowing them to see your full profile or just a limited profile. If you have already accepted them as a friend then decide you don't want your landlord to find out about the giant alpaca you're keeping in her home, go to privacy (in the top right hand corner)and you can change and customise who can see parts of your profile.

So if you are extremely passionate about keeping some things private from others then there is a way... Facebook can help.
