By now you must be well aware of the fact that Facebook has recently tweaked the ‘Privacy Settings’ which lends you more control over your content on the popular social networking site. As soon as you log in to Facebook, a pop up is shown, urging you to re-set your privacy settings (if you haven’t).

What most users miss out is that you are now granted much more customizability in terms of making your content available to only those whom you wish. Today I am going to show you how you can show (or hide) your status updates to specific people irrespective of them being in your friend list. Assuming you have already set the new ‘Privacy Settings’, here’s what you need to do.

»  Log into Facebook, write a new status update and click the small ‘lock’ icon below.

» In the menu, click ‘Customize’.

» A pop-up window will appear where you can specify who can view your status update. Start writing the name of a contact in the boxed below. Keep in mind, unless you check-mark ‘Make this my default setting’, the setting will be restricted to your current status update only. Finally click ‘Save Setting’.

» You are done! I know. The first thing you’ll do is to write ‘I hate my boss’ and hide it from him. ;)
