Chief Monkey put up a post the other day on locking down some of the big Social Media websites. As the security policies change it can be harder and harder to keep track of what the actual settings are. Read the post, it's good stuff. Here are the direct links to the guides:
Twitter
LinkedIn
Google +
Facebook
As the Chief mentions, it will help friends and family lock down their accounts keeping people (and their information) safer.

Facebook Security (August 2011)
I only use Facebook casually; I'm not a big user. I think I've blogged before about Facebook security, but Facebook is continuously changing and updating their policies and security/privacy posture. However, I saw a link today that I had not seen before:
Facebook Security Guide
Some of the points they make are true common sense. But, I'm sure there is something for everyone in the guide. My hope is that the guide gets updated as they introduce new features and policies.

Facebook changes to make
Facebook made changes, yet again, to the privacy and data restriction usage. You might want to check your settings to see what's new, and what's being shared.
Here's a good link to helping "reset" some of the changes Facebook made to your account.
I suspect my older post here, is now outdated. I think some of the main ideas may still be relevant, just implementing them will take more steps.

Shhh, Don't tell anyone....
I finally signed up for Facebook. I spent a good hour and a half figuring out the privacy and security settings. I may have been a bit paranoid, and I may have to start relaxing the settings. We'll see.

Facebook Security/Privacy
Ok, so I'm probably the only person on the Earth who has not signed up for Facebook. At least, if you listen to my friends, it would seem that way. I've just been reluctant. I maintain a bunch of other blogs, am starting to study for the CISSP, and am trying to manage my own company. It's not like I have a lot of extra free time. I've heard a bunch about possible security/privacy issues, and it is one less headache I've wanted to mitigate.
Really, I'm not into the applications, the wall, posting pictures, etc., etc. I try to keep as low a profile on the web as possible. However, the ability to connect with some old friends would be great.
So far, I've only found one really good site for Facebook Security:
(edit: found another buried deep in my feed reader)
Are there other good sites?
