Facebook: Here’s How To Hide Recent Activity and Keep Your Privacy

Facebook has become the biggest social network in the world and with that has also become the target of many different malware attacks; some of them most recently  include two bouts of Osama Bin Laden laced posts, an email scam and the Twilight game that was also loaded with malware.
It’s a newly developed part of Facebook and it’s easy to use. It works for a number of different things, so far we have tried it with ‘Liked’ pages, friend confirmations and comments that we have added to Facebook. All you do is move to the X for the type of activity that is appearing on your profile and then select ‘Hide All ****** Activity’ as shown below.
Once you have clicked and told your page to hide that activity, you are then greeted by a confirmation box. If you want to get rid of all your comments on other people’s walls which you might want to then click on “Hide All”. Once you have clicked on it they have disappeared. As mentioned by Mark M. Whelan in his book "The Grammar of Strategy: Loquar's guide to Marketing on Web 2:0"  if you wish to get the displayed things back then head to the bottom of your page and click on “Edit Options” where you get another box with options, if you don’t want something to be hidden anymore, hit the X and then click save.
Will you be hiding any activity on your Facebook page? Let us know in the comments section below.
