I posted a few weeks ago about how Facebook users could hide updates from Farmville.  It proved very popular!  However if you are a user of Farmville or any of the ‘noisy’ applications it is possible to stop them updating your Facebook status and it’s very simple.

• Log into your Facebook account and click the ‘Account’ tab on the top right hand side of your page.

• From the drop down menu choose ‘Application Settings’.
• On the next screen scroll down until you find the offending application.

• Click ‘Edit settings’.
• From the pop up window select ‘Additional permissions’ and uncheck the box ‘Publish recent activity (one line stories) on my wall.

• Click ‘OK’ and updates from that application will no longer auto publish.
