How to Hide Your Facebook Status Updates From Certain People?

Using Facebook’s general privacy settings (find these by hitting “account” on the top right of a Facebook page) you can select whether everyone, just friends or friends offriends can see your status updates. However, there is a way to narrow those options down even further.
You can select specific friend lists to see yourstatus people by name, which is useful for anyone organizing a surprise party

To take advantage of these options, click the padlock icon just below your “ what’s on your mind ” box on your wall and a drop down menu should appear. Selecting “ customize ” will bring up more options such as “ make this visible to ” and “ hide from ” with the option to make your selection a default.
