I used to be a Facebook slut, but I got seduced by Twitter. Now I’m a twitter whore.

You can create “lists” (which are very different from “groups”) of friends and only allow certain things to appear to certain lists. I have a list for family/close friends and a list for students. I let everyone see work-related stuff, for my own amusement if nothing else. Most of what I post is only visible to family.

Gwen, one Facebook friend has two separate FB accounts, only one with a photo – I am only friends with one of these – I think they used the same email address for both – it should be possible to keep two accounts separate if you use separate email/mobile phone numbers. (Not sure what the meta-message is with that though 🙂

Itzac, I’m still struggling to keep my religious family away from the rest of my fb life. How does one go about doing that?

Just to clarify, because I drop a lot of names: Amanda is my wife who uses facebook in a limited way. Leslie is my former girlfriend from when I was like 13 or something who happens to be on facebook. Lizzie is a BFF who often says things that inspire me to write entire blog posts about them, and does not want her different diasporas in the same room. (She is neither on facebook nor a reader of my blog, so all of our communication is in person.)

My own kids and all my (high school) students agreed, no Facebook for me. “It would be too weird!”

So that’s that.

“I really didn’t want them all in the same room.”

That’s a problem I wrestle with often.

Diaspora has it licked. You can sort people into different aspects of your life, so that your religious cousin doesn’t see the stuff you post for your friends in the local BDSM community. It’s just too bad it sucks balls.
