It is possible to maintain good boundaries on Facebook, if you follow four simple rules:

1) Go to Privacy Settings and review every item carefully. Facebook now provides 17 variables you can set.

2) Segment your list of friends into Personal, Family, and Business acquaintances. This way, you can post things that pertain to each group, and reduce the amount of irrelevant posts the other groups see.

3) Don’t accept a friend request unless you know the person.

4) If friends’ posts are too frequent, boring, annoying or upsetting to you in any way, you can “defriend” them, and they’ll be gone from your Facebook experience. If for some reason you want to keep them on your Friend list but can’t stomach their chatter, you can hide their posts.
