Facebook has added new privacy options to give users more control over their Facebook applications and websites using Facebook Connect. The new changes follow December's controversial privacy overhaul.
In an announcement on the Facebook Blog, the world's largest social network revealed that it has added more "granular" control to content shared through apps. The changes are meant to allow users to change which of your friends see updates from certain apps, but it also extends to third party apps and Facebook Connect websites.
Seesmic, for example, will soon offer more detailed privacy features, specifically allowing users to post status updates only to the friend lists you specify.
From the Facebook blog:
"There are now granular privacy options that enable you to personalize the audience for each piece of content you share through applications. Simply select the group of people you want to share with from the drop-down menu near the lock icon on the Publisher on your home page or profile, or the prompts that appear when you share from applications or Facebook Connect websites.
For example, maybe you don't want all of your friends to see the humorous greeting card you just posted from an application. Now you can set that post to be viewable only by certain friends."
