This is exactly how I think as well. I don’t trust facebook’s privacy options (way too confusing, and as you’ve shown, less capable) and I used a lot of custom groups and such to manage my blog posts but everyone mindlessly flocks to facebook and Livejournal doesn’t get my friends’ time share as much.

I'm currently frustrated - I rely on my Livejournal's friend filters to keep some things private, and only "spam" the particular LJ friends who are interested in my dolls or stationery obsession or Star Trek fandom, not ALL my friends. I can barely use my Facebook to talk about my regular every day life. My 7th grade Bible teacher is on my Facebook, so I no longer feel comfortable posting about which flavor vodka I tried today or what bar my friends and I went to. So I post to my Livejournal, but given all my friends' limited time every day, they are pretty much prioritizing checking Facebook, flocking there every night and ignoring their Livejournal friends postings. -Carrie Thanks for such a great clear, understandable post about the privacy differences between Livejournal and Facebook.

The good news is that most of the major networking sites (except for twitter) have implemented ways to natively group friends, the bad news is none of them seem to be tapping into it's full potential. Hopefully the fact that you can create groups on most sites means more group related functions in the near future. <abbr><em>Wardell’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/wdb2/~3/tVtKL5d2PLU/">Your Network is What You Make It</a></em></abbr> I think the settings you mentioned seem very useful!
