Facebook

Thinking back to when I first got my Facebook Account , I was away from my home town and the curiosity as to how everyone was doing was killing me.  I didn't do a good job at keeping in touch with old family and friends.  I opened it hoping I would hear about my family and friends.  Through the search box i tracked down most of my friends. Even most of my family was there. I was very excited.  I used to read on my spare time at work what they were up to, browsed their pictures.  It was great and I used to wish I was back home.  Yes it took alot of time away from other activities but it made me feel better.   I heard the other day of all the bad things people can do with a facebook account and it was pretty startling.  They can pose as others in an account. They can take pictures and edit , they can take your picture as their own.  To think about it we post  a lot of stuff that others can use to harm you.  It is very bad to be naive about these things because it happens to a lot of people. To think you can be the next victim. I went to look at the privacy settings and i was glad to see there are ways how to protect yourselves.  DO the smart thing.  Protect yourselves through the privacy settings in your accounts. Dont be another victim....
