Facebook Guidlines

Simple Facebook Guidelines:


1. Where have you worked? Your friends already know. Don't add this to the facebook database so that strangers can find you in a search they make.


2. Where have you gone to college? Your friends already know that too. Don't add it to the Facebook data base for strangers.


3. Where do you live? Your friends know where you live too! Don't ever put your address into Facebook.


4. Where are you from? Why do strangers want to know this? Your friends already know.


5. What do you "Like"? When you press the "Like" button from Facebook, the web site or product advertisement you are looking at will show up in your Facebook page. "So what" you ask? Facebook is tracking what you "Like" so they can send you and your friends targeted advertising. Notice how hard it is to remove a link you "Liked." They make it easy to add data, but they make it HARD to remove data. My advice is do not "Like" anything unless it is a restaurant you want your friends to know about.


6. What about using Facebook email, or Facebook chat? --- here again, you can not delete your own data. You have to ask the question, why not?


7. What about tagging your friends on Facebook? This when you associate a person's face with their name. Tagging a picture should never be done without first getting your friend's permission. Anyone who can access the picture can save the name associated with it, which then could be used for identity theft. Don't do this to your friends. They already know who they are, and their friends also know who they are. Strangers may not, but after you've tagged their picture, they too will know.



Bottom line: do not put personal data in Facebook! It's simple.
