Rules of Social Networking
Pay attention to what you post and upload. Social networking is public.
- Consider images, videos, and information you publish
- You shouldn’t publish your address, date of birth, etc.
- Use a nick-name that only your friends know.
Choose your friends with care.
- Do not accept friend requests from people you do not know
- Verify all your contacts
Protect your work and environment and avoid reputation risk
- When joining a social networking site use your personal e-mail address
- Be careful how you portray your company online
- Do not mix your business contacts with your friend contacts
Protect your mobile phone and the information saved on it from any physical intrusion
- Do not let anyone see your profile or personal information without consent
- Do not leave your phone unattended
- Do not save your passwords on your mobile phone
- Use the security features available on your mobile phone
Turn off Location Aware Services
- Twitter, Google Buzz, Foursquare and new Smart-phones will publish your location when you post an announcement. Letting the entire world know you aren’t home. See the website http://pleaserobme.com/
- Instead of using a GPS to mark your home location, have your GPS set home to a familiar landmark near your home, such as a corner store. If a thief breaks into your car, not only do they know you aren’t home, but they will have access to your garage door opener and turn by turn directions to your front door.
When Planning Vacation
- Do not post dates and times you will be away, rather write posts as a journal of events that have happened so it’s a surprise that you were gone for a period of time.
