Want to share portions of your Facebook account with everyone on the site? Yeah, me neither, but the social networking site is giving you that option nonetheless.
Facebook is now giving you the option to allow "everyone" on the site to view certain parts of your profile, even if you are not friends. It will allow people searching for you to see your personal information or status updates, for example, but not your photos or Wall posts.
"None of your existing privacy settings have changed. This is an additional setting for those of you who wish to share with a broader audience," Facebook said in a blog post.
To update, go to Facebook's privacy settings and click on the drop-down menu for sections like Profile, Status Updates, Links, Wall Posts, Basic Info, Personal Info, Education Info, Work Info, Photos of You and Videos of You.
The menu will give you the option to share this information with everyone, your networks and friends, friends of friends, only friends, or via a customized view. Save it and you're set.
"While some special rules remain in place about who can see your profile if you are a minor, people generally won't need to be friends with you or share a common network in order to view your content if you choose the new 'Everyone' setting," Facebook said.
