Are you careful about what you post on Facebook?

I have heard that many FB users post their hour by hour status/daily status on the Facebook. I have also restricted my profile, not everyone could check it (except my friends). I do not like to post such status - "Going for a movie", "I am out of town" or "I am attending a wedding" etc.

I don't even have a facebook account. I did have, but when I received a friend request from a very young friend of mine I deleted my account. Let me explain, it wasn't because I didn't want to be friends with her. As I said she was my friend in the real world. However, we are always cautioned about what we put online and how dangerous social networking can be especially for young people. I felt that having a facebook account sent the wrong message to my young friend so I corrected that. On the other hand, recently, I have seen messages from companies that I work for that want us to 'like' them on facebook. By doing so we would be in line for better paying assignments. I have also needed to check on someone who I know has a facebook account but I'm pretty sure I can't without having one myself so I am a bit of a quandary on what to do.

Yes, I'm always always careful on what I post on Facebook and not only on Facebook but in social networking sites in general. Every picture and every word in status, comment, or message, I think twice before I post. I think it's okay to post pictures of your vacation and there's nothing wrong with that as long as you posted it after your vacation and you're already back home. But if before the vacation you said in your status that you'll all be away for a week for vacation, I think that's what your husband is telling you about.

Of course we must be very extra careful when it comes to personal information. Like posting that you will be away for a few days and no one will be at home. Even if our profile is set to private and only close friends can see it- still we are not secured when it comes to internet.

Yes, I would limit what I put and write on facebook. I do not see that it is necessary for me to write everything and let the world know of what I do.

Yes I am very careful, because I have a lot of of my mum's friends on my friend's list. lol Much there are also nosy people ready to feed on gossip as well.

I also think that we should be careful about posting on Facebook. I also agree with you that one should not put gone for vacation type of message in Facebook. I think it is good to limit on the personal things put on Facebook.

Yes, I try to be careful about what I post on Facebook. I have mine set to private as well, and even though I only have a select few on my friends list, I'd rather not announce certain things on there. It's a habit I was raised with and a good one at that, because you just never know who might take advantage of something like that...no matter how well you think you might know someone. As the saying goes, better safe than sorry! Happy mylotting!

You should certainly never put information on Facebook about you being away from your home at any time and for any reason. Or any other vital personal info for that matter. It is far too common these days for hackers to invade every aspect of our digital lives. It happens all the time regardless of whether we hear about it. And you never know when a hacker might be living just a few doors down from you.

I set my facebook profile open for public and everyone can see but Im not worry about it, I have nothing to hide on my facebook because I only use my facebook to join craft pages and some other pages...so basically I use my facebook to share new project or free pattern with other members. I never post personal status or give personal info on my facebook or other social network. But if I were using facebook as other people (adding friends, family, update status, etc) I'd be careful on what I post and what I upload because we dont know who might see it altough we already set our FB privacy just for friend only.

I don't post anything in my facebook page untill and unless it is necessary but I don't find anything necessary to post anything necessary on my facebook page as of now So I never posted anything unreal in my facebook account as of ever. I just do the usual browsing just as if I am wathcing a static webpage like old web 1.5 days when people could not post or comment. Just watch.

I certainly monitor what I put online. I have all different kinds of people on my friend's list, and I certainly do not want every person I know to know every little thing about me. I do not update my status often, and do not give details about things I am doing. If I need someone to know details, I send them a personal message, or communicate outside the internet. It's safer that way. And it's less annoying to others when every detail of your life isn't published.

Yes,But I think it's important you have stricked privacy settings on it,so only close friends,people you truly trust can see your updates and your friend list is not filled with strangers. I agree with your husband,you can never be too careful,there's been a lot of stories of theifs using facebook to break in. Most of my friends spill all their details,e.g how long they're going for,exact date their leaving,coming back,where,I just think it's not smart. After all,you're putting it on the internet for the whole world to see. I guess you can't even trust your friends these days. Just try to be careful on there and remember,you can NEVER be too safe. Thing is you don't know what could be going on in other people's minds,you can never know what one's thinking.

I am careful, not only on facebook, but on the internet. I am not sure who is going to see.

I think we need to careful to what we can share in Facebook because not every thing can be share and its should be fun. I usually keep my personal matters for myself and I limited what I can share there. I can not share every thing there, especially when I feel upset with someone. Its not the right place to share my anger and rant. I usually just share positive think.

One need to have cautious while posting something on an online portal like Facebook. There were many cases, where the personal photos are misused in the web via Facebook and other social networking sites. Members feel that the profile page and other details are restricted to only my friends, but it's a myth. Reality is that, whenever a member access any application, your information is being shared by the application for free. And also, social network sites also share the personal information with third parties which members does not know.

As far as my personal life on Facebook, I try to keep a low profile. On the about me, I don't put my street address,nor do I share my phone number. As far as my beliefs and opinions about certain subjects, I'm very open about it.

Your husband is right ! So putting and posting everything in Fbook puts you and your family in danger because you are feeding information to the globe and we know very much how dirty is the world now..so better be very cautious. Me ? i put everything in private , customize some that only me can see neither my friends can..

i don't understand why but lately about 6 months or so i'm not active with my fb account anymore, i'm just passive i open it and just browse it and that's just like reading a newspaper,...
