Protect and improve your Facebook security

Most people use Facebook without realizing how much they share about themselves, and what the consequences can be. However, there is a new product that helps you decide what is safe to share and with who. Secure.me connects like any other Facebook application, and crawls your profile to suggest you security improvements. Overall it divides suggestions into 3 categories, Privacy, Profile, and Network Analysis.

Some good suggestions it makes about privacy
  • Sharing your hometown, which you use for all those "Secret Questions" to reset passwords
  • Sharing your education with non-friends, same problem as above
  • Sharing political or religious views that can affect your employment prospects
  • Work location if you do something sensitive(NATO general impersonated for spying purposes
The product is a little clunky, but enough page reloads make it get going. Still is a free product, so use while there is no charge for it.
