6 Easy Steps to Hide Groups on MySpace

How to Hide Groups on MySpace

MySpace is a great place to connect with friends and family as well as to meet new people all over the world.

With millions of members MySpace is now one of the top social networking websites on the internet containing created communities on almost every conceivable topic.

On MySpace, by default, friends and contacts who follow you can see the groups you have joined.

Anyone can find your profile by doing a simple search from anywhere in MySpace.

Although each user can add as much or as little as they want in their profile there is often considerable information out in the open that could cause a concern for people's privacy.

I dont want to get into details of what an abuser could do with some of this information (don't want to put ideas in peoples heads) but even something as simple as sending spam or offensive messages is enough to warrant putting a few tweaks in place.

Another thing to consider is a person may not want their employer to have access to some of their personal information for example or if someone was in a bad relationship previously they may not want the other party finding them. There are many reasons to consider hiding your groups on MySpace.

In addition to hiding your groups, there are also ways to hide your contact table and your comments to ensure an even higher level of privacy. These other measure are outside the scope of this article but can be found with a simple Google search.
