Facebook application development entails a very small learning curve. It has its roots in the contemporary Internet markup and scripting technologies. As a matter of fact, if you are a web developer, you only need a few more skills to develop your applications in Facebook. The required front-end skills include XHTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP. Facebook uses its own markup and scripting languages known as FBML (Facebook Markup Language) and FBJS (Facebook Javascript) respectively. For backend, Facebook has its own version of SQL known as FQL (Facebook Query Language).

Other than technical skills, developers have other challenges when it comes to the social networking paradigm. In order to make their applications reach more users, developers have to come up with innovative ideas and marketing strategies to engage their users.

There are variety of purposes for which friend list can be used, but the biggest draw for a normal user is the label they can use for different friends for easy adjustments of profile privacy settings. Creating Friend Lists may sound harsh or strange to some readers but you also do that in your real life, you decide which friends should know how much and to what level about you.

Facebook also lets us share photos, videos, information, updates, links and much more on a single platform. Everyone likes their privacy young people usually do not mind sharing even every bit of their information but a big number still does.

But the question is publicly posting all this minutiae really such a good idea? Knowing what you had for lunch is hardly ever going to be interesting, unless you’re a chef, and seeing your drunken antics very well may get you fired. So where do we draw the line, and for whom?

Most Facebook users find it difficult to deal with their profile security options, their friend lists and restrict certain people. But its really important that you know which options are available to you by facebook to filter certain contents before they get published on your Facebook news feed.

Almost all of facebook users must have some security filters defined for profile but still a lot of stuff e.g tagged pictures are vulnerable to others. So its important that everyone knows the full use of security features provided by Facebook.

The beauty of Facebook’s many features is that now you can choose what you show and to what type of people. By using friend lists and playing with your privacy settings, you can create different views for each segment of your profile.

Segmenting your friends into lists

There are variety of purposes for which friend list can be used, but the biggest draw for a normal user is the label they can use for different friends for easy adjustments of profile privacy settings. Creating Friend Lists may sound harsh or strange to some readers but you also do that in your real life, you categorize and priortize different friends, right?

So, Facebook also allows you to put it to a good use.

The labels or names of Facebook Friend list depend on your use of facebook and overall purpose of that filter list. If it’s personal, I suggest “People You

Don’t Know,” “Real (offline) Friends,” “Work People,” and “Online Buddies” for effective tweaking of privacy settings to control each list’s level of profile access.

Also there is no limit to how a certain friend list when discussing privacy settings; however, if you want to use lists to batch invite, message or tage people, you will need to create smaller, more trageted lists.

You can create a list from the Friends page, or choose them individually by name while working on the Privacy Settings page. Simply choose a feature you want to limit, like your Wall, and select “Customize” from the drop down. Then enter the name of the person or list you want to keep from seeing that feature. You will be prompted to create a list if you enter multiple names by hand. Privacy settings can be adjusted by hovering over “Settings” in the upper right corner of Facebook and clicking on “Privacy Settings.”

So what should you share?

It totally depends on you, what would you like others to know and what not. But a basic breakdown for your friends list would be like this:

1. People you do not know
2. Your Real friends
3. Coworkers
4. Online Buddies
5. Family
