Computer Tip of the Day "07-17"

"The Dark Side of Social Networking"

7-Post only information that you are comfortable with others seeing — and knowing — about you. Many people will see your page or postings, including the people who will be interviewing you for a job five years from now.
8-Remember that once you post information online, you can’t take it back. Even if you delete the information from a site, older versions are stored on other people’s computers and may be archived for years by Web search services.
9-Think hard before posting your photo. It can be altered and broadcast in ways you may not be happy about. If you do post one, ask yourself whether it’s one you’d include in your professional resume. Posting pictures of children invites exploitation and could expose them to real-world danger.
10-Flirting with strangers online could have serious consequences. Some people lie about who they are; you never really know whom you’re dealing with.
Come back Monday for the rest of the story.
