Do you want to hide your list of friends from people in it? Facebook offers facility to stop showing them on your Profile or Timeline. This post will show you how to hide them both in the old Profile and in the new Timeline.

How to do it in the old Profile

Once you have logged in to Facebook, on the top right hand corner of the page, click on your name or small profile picture and then on the “Edit Profile” button that will appear right below.

Once you have done this, in the left sidebar, click on the option that says “Friends and Family.”

Now, at the right extreme of the Friends section, located near the bottom center of the screen, click on the audience icon, the one indicated in the next image, and in the appearing menu select the option “Only Me.”

Finally, click on the “Save Changes” button, located near the bottom of the screen.

Keep in mind that, although your list of friends will not appear on your Profile, there are still other ways in which people may see it. This is because in December 2009 Facebook declared that all users’ lists of friends are public information.

How to do it in the new Timeline

Once you have logged in to Facebook, on the top right hand corner of the page, click on your name or small profile picture.

Then, click on the Friends box that is among the boxes that are right under your name and big cover picture.

Once you have done that, click on the “Edit” button near the top right hand corner of the page, then click on the audience icon, and finally, in the appearing menu, on the “Only Me” option. The three things that you have to click are pointed in the next image:

This way people that see your Friends box on your Timeline will only see in it their mutual friends among you and them. Mutual friends with the viewer cannot be hidden.

Let’s say someone has posted a picture from Facebook on another site such as sample.com using the Facebook URL (hotlinking.) Here is how you find the profile where that picture came from:
1. Find the URL of the image. If you don’t know how, right click on the image -> View Image
2. Open a new tab or window and paste into the address bar http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=
3. Look at the image URL and pick out the third number from the right eg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-…_1111111_n.jpg
4. Copy that number (from example 333333333333333) and paste next to the ?id= so you have a new URL of the form http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=333333333333333
5. Hit enter and this is the profile the image came from!

Source Code Included in Windows Azure Toolkit for Facebook

You won’t need source code to use CloudPoll, but if you want to customize the application, the source is available on Codeplex in the Windows Azure Toolkit for Facebook. It is built by Thuzi in collaboration with Microsoft to incorporate best practices, enabling the rapid development of flexible, scalable, and architecturally sound Facebook applications. In addition to the framework you can download the Simple-Poll sample application that show how to connect you Facebook Application to Windows Azure, blob storage, and SQL Azure.

Check out Thuzi.com CTO Jim Zimmerman’s session, Facebook Apps in Azure, at Mix10 last week where he showcased live Facebook applications for Outback Steakhouse and CloudPoll that were both built using the Windows Azure Toolkit for Facebook.

Facebook has been hit by another hacking attack, as a phishing campaign was used to steal passwords from users of the social networking site.

Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt said that the site was in the process of cleaning up damage from the attack, and that that Facebook was blocking compromised accounts.

Those sites were designed to look like the Facebook home page. The victims were directed to log back in to the site, but actually logged into the one controlled by the hackers, unwittingly giving away their passwords.

The fake domains include www.151.im, www.121.im and www.123.im. Facebook has deleted all references to those domains.
