Oops! Did I Tell Everyone That?
Posting information to social networking sites about when you're not at home has some risks. Have you even thought about what you are doing when listing so much personal information on Facebook and Twitter? As I was reading about this I also thought about bloggers who are telling everyone when they are going on vacation or to meetings. Have you thought about who is also reading your blog besides your friends?
In one 10-minute period, Please Rob Me presented 289 "new opportunities" as the site listed people who had checked into places such as work, the airport and the supermarket and posted their location on Twitter or Facebook. They said their site was started for fun and to let people know how dangerous it can be to tell the world your every move. I know we get a little free with the information we pass on to others but maybe we should be a little more careful in the future.

This is important. This weekend, my husband and kids were gone overnight, and I didn't mention it on-line for this very reason.
