What NOT to do in Facebook

For all the Facebook lovers who are making this social networking site their prime communication tool with family and friends, take heed: there are seven things NOT to do in Facebook.
- Do not use a weak password (like your dog’s name, or your birth date, or even your middle name)
- Do not leave you full birth date on your profile (same goes with your school, home address, office address, mobile phone, home phone).
- Do not read about and learn and USE the privacy settings and risk yourself getting exposed (duh)
- Do not allow your children’s name to be tagged even by friends, if they do not have an account. If you have a child(ren), remove their tagged names, especially if they do not have an account there.
- Do not make your weekend getaway a secret (or for this matter do not put out a “for everyone” status update about a party in your home)
- Do NOT let search engines find you (unless you want to be found, duh?) and yes, there is such a setting that will allow you to not get found (go figure it out in the privacy setting)
- Do not allow children to login unsupervised. Instead, supervise young children who have Facebook accounts and love to play third party apps/games (better yet, they will only get logged in if you are there to provide the password) when they are logged in.
