- not too many people have set up groups/circles, I've struggled with it and failed, its PITA to change things around...then you are always posting to - zeitgeist Aug 20, 14:10 6
  - my issue is that so much of what I do on FB is mobile and I can't change my privacy settings on my phone. other than that I'm really impressed with - amanda Aug 20, 14:12 5

    - You can change for individual posts but you have to remember to change it back because it will default to that for all time. -- nm - spamlet Aug 20, 14:15 2
      - I actually can't change it on my phone. it looks like I should be able to but then it just doesn't allow me to change. - amanda Aug 20, 14:17 1
        
        Oh, I just meant on individual posts. You could say only this group or something. - spamlet Aug 20, 14:44
- But that would take her deciding *not* to tell certain people, which is probaby something she doesn't have the internal ability to do. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 13:56 5
  - well, that's an issue with her, not FB. -- nm - loosilu Aug 20, 13:59 4

      - More like "Guns don't shoot DEA agents in the foot" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 20, 14:18
      - sure. but welcome to the new world. -- nm - Remlik Aug 20, 14:03
