Facebook actually handles this pretty well, I have different groups of people and I can cater my status message carefully to each and every one of them.

This problem happens more to me when I'm on twitter however, as I'd like to tweet about how crazy my weekends were, but my entire network is reading along so I really couldn't.

I think they handle this part of their system really poorly. I'd like to log into Facebook, and then click "Friends" or "Family" or "Corporate", and have three completely separate and distinct areas where I can be sure data wont leak between them. As it stands, the only way I can do that is to set up multiple Facebook accounts. But maybe I want to stick my brother in both "Friends" and "Family"...
