Facebook has long allowed you to block certain content - pictures, wall posts, status updates - from certain people on your friends lists, but what about the videos, newspaper articles, or notes you post via the publisher?
The social networking site is testing a feature that provides more control over the publisher by letting you pick and choose who can see posted items.
When you go to post an item, there will be a drop-down menu with a lock on it that allows you to select who will be able to view it: everyone, everyone and networks, friends of friends, only friends, or a custom list of pre-selected friends.
"You might be comfortable with anyone enjoying the video you took at a concert, but only want your family to see photos from your family vacation," Facebook wrote in a blog post. "So you can choose to share the video with 'Everyone' while selecting 'Custom' for the photo album and choosing your Friend List for your family."
The feature is currently in beta. Those who have their status updates and profile privacy settings on "everyone" will be included in the beta, but Facebook said it hopes to expand it to other soon.
