watch what u post

Here's a mistake many people make without giving it a second thought. Often, social networking users post extremely detailed information at a friend's page without really knowing who might be reading that information. Even though you may take great care in the personal information you post at your own profile, chances are you don't know who is seeing and reading your friends' profiles. Even if it's a friendly comment, think before you post. Yes, your friends absolutely, positively need to know about your awesome party this Saturday, but keep in mind the fact that you really don't know who THEIR friends are ' or who might be reading their page. Putting specific addresses of locations or phone numbers in bulletins or other public posts is risky. Send an email or an instant message instead. They get the job done just as well without the risk.
