  1. Ryman- great point Re: social networks and private info. Many users freely expose information on their various social net profiles that can be used by criminals to commit identity theft or worse. The best rule of thumb to use is never expose any info on a social network that you wouldn’t give up to a stranger on the street.

    I put together a guide on how to protect your id on facebook, but there are some tips that can be used on any social network(s) that you use.

    Thanks for the visit. I’ve looked up your article and it’s a great guide to facebook users. With the emergence of ’social’ sites, identity theft is on a high.

    Unfortunately, most users of these social networks doesn’t understand the consequences of their identity being stolen.

    I for one, doesn’t accept friend requests from a person I don’t know on facebook. Although on Friendster and MySpace, I’m guilty of accepting contacts I don’t even know.
