Hesitations

That's what I have done, just posted a few pictures when he was just a newborn and no more after that. I keep thinking of what people do to abuse photos available online though I have set the privacy settings. I do see friends posting tons of their baby photos, but it just didn't seem right to me. It's a good idea to store the photos in the mobile but then I seldom meet up with some friends, they are just so far away and it's not easy to do that. These are the ones who kept asking actually, because we can't meet up and they want to see the photos.

Hi marguicha, Whether "a baby's privacy" can be invaded seems like a legal question but let's put that aside for now. I don't mind talking about him, about his behaviour and so on, but to post pictures seem too personal to me. I think I would hold it off for now. Even though I don't put up mine, I appreciate others putting theirs up. Sofía is beautiful, thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks for finding her beautiful. I think so too, but of course I´m her grandmother. If you find that posting your baby´s picture is too personal, by all means don´t do it. Happy posting!

I'm sure the genes do run! I'm working on a blog now, actually it's all about him, so I will put photos there instead. Cheers!

Hi dawn, I know many people who do that all the time, I think I have witnessed some kids' growth from when they were a little baby to becoming a toddler and then entering school. They felt ok with sharing and I like looking at the pictures they posted as I can know their updates, especially for friends whom are residing overseas.

Thats a good idea, mail is sometimes good way to share pictures if its just few pictures. And by this way, we can avoid it from misusing.

Hi shi... I guess you mean email? Yes, it is a good idea, provided the other party has an email address and also if it is not a lot, I know of some programs which allow us to send a large file so I can even send a whole load all at once. Regarding your avatar...I did wonder about the flowers around your neck, so now I know it is for a special occasion. hmmm, your sister's wedding...when is it going to be your turn? heehee Hi besthope, I think I am a bit lazy to send email, because we have to upload them, attach to email, then send off, but I do agree that it is a good idea.

FB does give us a lot of convenience in sharing info, but there is also potential threats in there. I prefer to be more cautious.

I do set my FB to private but there's also a problem there, I add a lot of friends to my account, some of them for gaming purposes so they are actually strangers. I know it is not so advisable but once I have added people, I don't really feel like taking them out again, so there's my dilemma. If only I can group them into different categories and have an option to choose which group of people to share photos with.

Hi Hatley, I definitely could do with your advice, thanks! I'm not sure I have the so called woman's instinct but I have been hesitating for a long time over this issue. I guess it is really not a right thing to do, for me at least. I accept lots of friends' requests on facebook and some are not really people that I know, so I felt that it is very open and unsafe.
