How unreal is that?

What was a good idea seems to have gotten to be more of a commercial endeavour. When was the last time you actually READ the TOS for a site that you were signing up for? I have tried in vain to caution my children and friends to be very careful of what they post on the internet. Most folks feel that if a picture is on the web, then it's fair game. Have these people not heard of photoshop?
Seriously, from watching Judge Judy and all those other shows, everyone has seen how easy it is for your ex's new best bud to go your myspace or facebook or twitter and pull all kinds of information off to show the WORLD what kind of person you are.
Be mindful of what you post!

yep. and that the issue with these social sites.And i also heard that your employer can snoop around your personal life.And can use it against you..that's why i'm very caution to what i post or say..because of my job title it can hurt me later for a promotion
