I've seen a large number of people here and elsewhere complaining about the SC2 Facebook integration because it allows any of your Facebook friends to locate your SC2 account. However I found a way around this, after testing it I put together an article explaining how you can hide from everyone or just specific people.
I've posted it over here on my blog, it explains in depth how to stop people finding you. I thought this might be helpful for quite a few people here!
This is my first post, apologies if it's in the wrong section and/or not supposed to be here, if so please direct me appropriately (also where do I find the rules for tl.net?) 
Edit: Some people were questioning the legitimacy of my method, blizzard just posted about the integration which confirms my method being the correct one: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=5738549

That's actually quite smart! Good first post and welcome to TL btw!
I'm glad i don't use facebook though :p

I have to say I couldn't care less about facebook integration so I didn't read your blog completely but I guess that if this works, you will make many people happy.
Rules

I feel the same way, for me it's a none issue but there were quite a few people I've seen that stated this was make or break for them, they couldn't risk their boss and/or family finding them, which to me sounds a bit silly but eh, some people have strange lives!
Thanks for rules link, I'll check them out

I've found a super effective way too.
I don't have facebook.
Never fails.

Thank fuk for that, good find. I hate blizzard sniffing up my ass to find all my friends and what I had for lunch on Tuesday. Blizzard you are a computer games company not the Gestapo - (know your place)

Could just use a different email address for B.net...

I have mixed feelings about the whole facebook thing. I'm sure lots of people are against it, but the convergence of your online and irl identities is something that's going to happen more and more in the future. It's no longer a game world where you can rant and swear at random people, it's getting integrated into your daily life. I don't know what to think of that yet.

Yeah, that's clever! Instead of just changing a setting, let's all cancel our Facebook-accounts and stop having contact with old friends and family members.

maybe i am wrong, but doesnt this only work if u actually log into facebook via b.net or are logged in while starting sc2?

I'm not sure what you mean, can you clarify?

you know.. people had contact with old friends and family members before facebook...
might sound crazy to the younger generation but people used to meet or call eachother and actually talk! or even use other online services to communicate which dont expose evrything to the whole freakin world.

Great to see people are finding work-arounds.

No, not the case. If you're on your friends friend list and your Facebook email matches your battle net email they'll be shown your account details, whether or not you've ever connected with Facebook in SC2 (or other battle net 2.0 games) is irrelevant. This is of course unless they've changed something during the downtime...
