ARE A GOOD WAY OF KEEPING IN CONTACT

SHARING PHOTOS AND THOUGHTS WITH THE WORLD AT LARGE

THERE ARE ALSO

IF USED WITHOUT DUE CARE

A FINE WAY OF DISSEMINATING PERSONAL, CONFIDENTIAL AND POTENTIALLY CAREER DAMAGING INFORMATION

YOU CAN’T ALWAYS TAKE BACK

MESSAGES AND IMAGES

YOU’VE POSTED

BE CAREFUL

WHAT YOU WRITE AND POSTA JOKE CAN BE CLASSED AS HARASSMENT 

THE POSTING OF WORK MATERIAL CAN BE A BREACH OF CONTRACT 

THEN YOU SHOULD

ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC WHICH MEANS THAT WHATEVER I POST COULD BE USED “AGAINST” ME

AVOID FROM

PHISHING VIRUS SPYWARE

3. GO SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES DIRECTLY BY TYPING THE ADDRESS
