Tired of having to remove spam from your Facebook page?

According to this NY Times article, a well-known web-filtering company, Websense is offering a beta-version of a program to help track and quarrantine spam, scams, phishing, and 'questionable' content from your Facebook account. While it is still in Beta, it is free for all to use. Once the beta release is retired, it will be a pay service, but only if you're a corporation or a celeb. I'll defeintely be giving this program a try.

Based on the article, all you have to do is go to Defensio's web site while logged into your Facebook account, click on sign up, then click the big Facebook icon (or you can just do a search for Defensio on Facebook, then click on go to application).

This will take you to Defensio's Facebook page, where you'll enter your email address, then you can configure your settings. I highly recommend this to all you parents out there who's kids are on Facebook. You can block things from simple profanity to porn. Keep Facebook safe for your kids.
