User beware: Facebook

I’ve always taken caution when placing my personal information on Facebook (and all other social networking sites in general). A lot of the information I put on a site like Facebook is very personal and used in many secure transactions. So I’ve always felt the need to take caution. This blog makes a justified case as to why I should so careful. I recommend you to take time to read the post and view the video as it provides a brief and information education on how sites like Facebook work. The video exaggerates the dangers of Facebook but the point of the video is clear: You are selling your information to the social networking sites by putting it online. The sites are free to use the information as they see fit. This is just something to keep in mind and certainly no cause for panic. But next time you decide to update your Facebook, Myspace, Friendster, or other social networking profile, stop for a moment and consider if you really want that information available out there.
