3 Things You NEVER Want To Do On Facebook

What not to do on Facebook

The World Wide Web has become an unbelievable resource these days. Unfortunately, this means that while you're Googling everything under the sun and shopping at your favorite online store, others are doing the same thing -- and they might just come across something of yours.

Using caution when putting information on your Facebook should seem obvious, but there are a few things that should NEVER be done.

Personal Information

You've changed your privacy settings to "My Friends Only" and each of those individuals knows you. No problem, right? Wrong! Even though Facebook prides itself on its security, you would be surprised how many individuals (including Facebook employees) could have gotten into your personal information.

Keep all personal information to yourself. If those friends of yours already know you, they won't need to see your private information online anyway.

Discretionary Photos

Yes, that Facebook account is all yours and technically, you're free to post whatever you'd like (sans those photos that may criminally indict you, etc.). But, keep in mind that your photos just may be viewed by people you hadn't intended to be a part of the audience.

Photos of you and your friends having a few drinks may seem harmless, but what if a boss of yours (or a college admission advisor) checked out your profile. Are those photos still appropriate? Maybe not. Think twice before posting a photo of you in that amazing swimsuit.

Posting Messages and Blogs

Friends will love hearing all about last weekend and that fun party. Just remember that others may not like it as much if you add in any sort of derogatory statements or insults while posting. Sometimes those "just teasing" statements go a little farther than we'd like them to.

Employers and individuals are making networking sites their business. And, in some cases, jobs are lost over site content. Don't let it happen to you.
