Facebook profile viewing?

[Lexie]

there are several different priivacy settings on facebook. The setting that the person has choosen will effect who can see their profile. The most strict setting is 'friends only' this means a person must accept you as a friend before you can see their profile. A bit more lenant is the 'network only' setting. This means anyone in the same network can view each other's profiles. (Networks are schools, places of work, or geographical areas). Lastly a person can have their profile set to 'public' which means anyone can view it. It sounds as though your friend has one of the first two settings.
