Here comes a very interesting series of blog posts by a no. of bloggers in and around India.

On April 1 after the conception of This Breaking News-India May Ban Facebook, Orkut and Foreign Social Networking Sites by Tech2.com a famous technology portal there was really a dash of panic among many people. At first I too was shocked about this news.

How to remain invisible in facebook.

welcome_3.gif

Facebook trying out new things for its members in impression of Google.
Google introduced invisible status mode in Gmail Chat (not in Gtalk) and improved privacy options for orkut users, 20-30 days back.
Now facebook also added Privacy Options for its members and users which are very easy to use and control.

Now you can be invisible in Facebook from the rest of the world by using facebook privacy options. You can find this option in profile privacy controls .

You can edit or change your status from “Update your status” on the Home page. Alternatively, you can edit your facebook Status from your profile page by clicking on “edit” in the Status Box.

I think facebook will be trying a lot more new things in a month or so to hold itself strong among users.
Facebook is in fierce competition now from OpenSocial API and other social networking sites.
