facebook and the relationship status

rel_status.jpgSome of you might not be aware of the fact that the relationship status on the famous social network "facebook" actually was invented by the devil himself. Especially in combination with the very famous "Public Wall" which exposes even the smallest change to your profile.

For some examples there is clearly the user to blame. But there some situation where the simple removing of your relationship status could cause quite a bit of confusion and suddenly result in all your friends gossiping about who you're hooking up with.

So keep in mind that facebook shows no mercy considering the changes made to your profile.

The easiest way though to deal with this fact is to customize facebook in a way that the public wall will respect your privacy.

Therefore just go to Settings -> Privacy Settings -> News Feed and Wall. There you can include and exclude the information which will be published to all your friends.
