Social Media and Privacy: Are you putting yourself in a fish bowl?

Do you remember the first time you felt uncomfortable when someone shared too much information about their personal life? It’s become common for people to compromise their own privacy. Often, they probably don't realise they're doing it.

You're right, Duncan. Even though I've always thought I've been careful, the more I dig into this topic the more I find out how much we're all giving away and much of it inadvertently. While I'm not worried about content I'm intentionally publishing - like blogs - it's the odd rant on Twitter or a nonsense Facebook wall post that could really come back to bite. Recruiters are turning to social media more and more to vet candidates. It's a HUGE topic.

Thanks for your keen observation. I appreciate it.

So true, Sharah!

Not only way too much info, but it'll never go away. A blog written, say 11 days or so ago, will be out there for infinity - if we run for office in 2040, it'll be there for everyone to read.
