Facebook publishes a story to your profile each time you add a new friend. Visitors to your Facebook Wall can see that information as "Recent Activity." Depending on you and your new friend's privacy settings, your other friends can "Like" or comment on the friending activity, or click through to the new friend's profile. There is no direct way of stopping everyone from seeing when you add friends. The option to disable it is nowhere to be found in Facebook's privacy settings system. The secret to turning it off is to wait until you add your next friend.
Log into Facebook after you have become friends with someone, then click "Profile" in the upper right area of the screen to view your own Wall.
Scroll down your Wall until you see a "Recent Activity" section that reads "(Username) and (Username) are now friends."
Mouse over the friending activity announcement, click the "X" that appears to the right of it and click "Hide All Friending Activity" from the drop-down menu that appears. A confirmation window appears.
Click the "Hide All" button in the confirmation window to stop everyone from seeing that you added friends on Facebook from this point forward.
