Tip of the month

TMI (Too Much Information)

No doubt about it; social networking websites are growing rapidly everyday. This growing trend of sharing yourself more and more online encourages people to overlook safety and privacy.

Don’t post information about yourself online that you don't want the whole world to know. Once you post to mySpace or any other social networking Web site, you can’t seriously be surprised when someone looks up your profile. Many more people could see your information than you intend, including your parents, your teachers, your employer, the police, or even your stalker.
