This morning on the news I heard this - Thieves robbed a house after seeing a Facebook post that the homeowner is going to be out for the evening. The robbery was captured on camera and when the homeowner showed it to her friend, the friend recognised the robber to be one of their Facebook friends whom they had not seen in 20 years.
Of late, there have been too many incidents where people post too much information. Be careful about what you post. It might come back to haunt you later. We have created virtual identities and put our best pics for other people to see. Recently a friend of mine said to me " Oh my God, you have 'X' # of friends ". It made me realise how the world has changed. People judge us by the number of friends we have or by how active we are on these networking sites. I used to play farmville ( yes, i admit) I was obsessed with playing this game and one fine day I just stopped. Thank God I did. Now I am more productive in my free time. I have reconnected more with old friends. Anyways, this piece is just meant to make more people aware about protecting their online identities.
