Social Networking and Lifes

I would check out what people tell me. Do background checks. Online now there are so many predators and we really have to be careful. Meet people but meet them where you feel comfortable in a lighted place where there are other people. Take it slow and do only what you feel comfortable with. I have heard some great love stories but I have also heard some terrible ones too. Be careful.

When I was started to get active on the 'net and social media, my sister who's a veteran on internet use told me, "Never reveal full information about yourself, especially your home address, or means of contact, or even a picture of you. If someone seems like a suspicious character, then you probably have every right to be wary of him. Do not entertain." I heed this advise everyday I'm on the internet. Whatever I choose to reveal about myself is all true, but I do not reveal all. It is my prerogative. This is how I protect myself.

Hi! Internet (social networking and other such sites) has undoubtedly connect us with so many people. They might be complete strangers to us in the beginning but later many of them become our good friends (perhaps as good as real life friends). You see as in real life your rely upon your own wisdom and experience to judge a person (whether s/he could be harmful to you) same is there on social networking sites. Social networking sites give a person an opportunity to conceal some of the vital information which may not be possible in real life, yet regular interaction with on line friends could give us a clue/indication whether the person is genuine or not. Having said that I would like to add that in real life too despite using our instincts sometimes the other one deceives us, same hold true for on line friends. You see no one could harm us until and unless we want to be get harmed. We need to take proper cautions before sharing important personal information with on line friend. Many keep their identity in disguise and save themselves from the probable harm. Have you been ever harmed by an on line friend?

Social network is now a huge part of today's life , we cannot ignore them . Some of the things I do to protect myself are ; 1. I dont give out my real name to anyone 2. I dont give online user my real email unless its someone I know in person and I want to interact with more . 3. I dont used my Facebook or twitter account to login into any pay site 4. I keep my offline life separate from my online life as much as possible 5. I dont give out my password , PayPal email to anyone I do a lot more but have to go now . nice post

It is best in social network that the person cannot harm you physically. I like it about this thing. ..Well the people who think that they get hurt by social networking. they take things on the internet very seriously. I do not so, it is good for me. ..Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Social network sites can be fun. I dont use myspace or facebook at all. But I truly love another social site that I get paid from. I also dont have to worry about people spamming my page there. Or posting bad things. Adm. at my other site is very active as well as the 2 site mods. So I love social sites.

Social networking is very beneficial , you come to know different people from different walks of life all over the globe. Some brings good luck but some also appear like a curse. Never trust a stranger directly , feel it , be sensitive , let your intuition work. You know a real person , because you feel like he is your soulmate , you can be you in his front ,no inhibitions , no lies . Your heart will tell you but whether to trust that person or not.

Yes, it is really common nowadays that social networking sites really affects our social lives that sometimes we already used to be connected with those people who have been we met by those sites. I think the best way to protect ourselves from those harmful strangers is to be wise in choosing who to mingle with or who to talk with. Of course, at first, they are nice with us but as days goes by, we will realize what really their intentions are.
