Greetings.  Privacy-related concerns surrounding Facebook continue to
escalate.  Now anxiety levels are boosting even more rapidly with the
unveiling of Facebook's new "Instant Personalization" system and its
potential for massive expansion of personal information gathering 
from -- and sharing with -- other sites.  Meanwhile, many observers feel
that managing Facebook's convoluted array of privacy settings is just
too opaque and unnecessarily complex for many users.

But this really isn't being fair to Facebook.  While it may not be
obvious, Facebook does provide a procedure -- if you know where to
find it and how to use it -- that can fairly quickly limit your
Facebook personal information to acceptable levels, at least to the
extent that other sites don't already have that data within their
grasps.

I've put together a very short YouTube video that demonstrates the
process (I recommend viewing it fullscreen -- and 720p HD -- if
possible).
