Beware of Social media.... Things never to share on Facebook

My this post is inspired by an article I just went thru in Yahoo, regarding things one should never share in social networking site. The article was focused on facebook, may be because it's potential to reach maximum number of people around the globe.

It reminded me the interview of Prez Obama where he suggested and advised teenagers especially the girls, how to behave and need to be careful while using and sharing the informations, pictures  and status update on social  network.

I found it interesting, and got intended to research more on this. So found there are so many awareness campaign has already being circulating regarding this.

That's good , I proud upon some ppl took it social responsibility and generated some sense to make people awake by creating  social awareness campaign videos and upload them to the same social networking platform which has been used by maximum number of people.
And try to educate them beware and think twice before publishing your in-personal information and pictures.

Almost every user likes to share everything on their Facebook page but certain updates can lead to criticism, embarrassment and even job termination.


I myself have experience and witness the incidents, if you're a person that cannot foresee or imagine the future and you're a person who dont understand and evaluate about your activities,   impact on your future life. It's better to remain and act as a passive user of these social media.

So here's a shortlist of what you shouldn't share on the social networking site, reports CBS news.

1.That your job sucks.
If you say this, you could be fired.

2. That you hate your ex.
In the event that you and your boyfriend get back together, or you and that friend you had a falling out with start talking again, you'll look like a total sucker. It's okay to let your emotions govern your thoughts but keep your feelings off your Facebook until you've started to think clearly about said ex.

The important thing to remember about social networks is that although you have the option to delete your comments, sometimes it can be too late. It's immediate and someone might have laid eyes on it before your retraction.

3. That you're going on vacation and then give the dates you're away.
You could be robbed. A recent study found that thieves scan social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter for folks in targeted neighbourhoods before they strike.

4. That you love yourself.
In fact, don't give any indication that you're your biggest fan. Your followers will only think the opposite. It's the biggest barometer of insecurity. Researchers at the University at Buffalo also found that women who base their self-worth on appearance and what people think of them tend to upload pictures very frequently.

5. That you're mean.
Saying mean things about people can only make you undesirable-for potential employers, dates, friends and strangers.
