A Home Security Company in Austin, TX warns users of popular social network sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc., to resist revealing all personal information even your friends and family.
Too often social networkers forget just how vulnerable they become when they post seemingly innocent information about themselves or their activities. Just setting your security levels to reduce those who can view your page is not enough. 
Here are some quick Do's and Don'ts to get you back on the safe and narrow:
Do:
- Take advantage of the security settings available to you from your preferred social outlet.
- Scrutinize available information about your children i.e. Schools etc.
- Think before you post - Could this come back to haunt me? If yes, then don't post.
- Log out of Facebook. Google your name followed by Facebook to see how others may see you (Ex. John Smith Facebook).
- Have a good time and enjoy social networking - just be safe.
Don't:
- Post private information about your schedule or upcoming trips. (EVEN if only friends can see your profile.)
- Put your home address on your profile or page.
- Post pictures that reveal sensitive data i.e. house number, license plate number, childrens school etc.
