fbook is restricted to friends, nothing person on TPF, and my blog is devoid of anything personal as well. can't be too cautious. people can be absolutely crazy.
I try to be as safe as possible. I'm not that worried about pictures only because I go out in public... I don't cover my face up with a paper bag or anything. So what I look like is not a secret and now as much of a big deal to me. But I'll never really post any information regarding where I live beyond saying: Miami, Florida. Good luck finding me.
I have my MySpace and Facebook pages private and can only be seen by my friends, all of which know where I live either way. I don't post where I work. I don't post my specific class schedule. I dont give out my phone number and/or address. I hope I'm being safe enough with that.
I absolutely think twice.
I used to not be so cautious, so there are likely pictures of me floating around somewhere that I really don't want on the internet.
I recently took down my Myspace and will probably do the same with my Facebook account, although it is private.
I'll post body/outfit shots on my blog, but I make sure to block out my face. I follow a lot of blogs where people post tons of pictures of themselves (in addition to stating their city/state of residence). That just seems too risky to me.
Last week I found this site: spock.com. I recommend you all type in your name to see what comes up. It searches all the social network sites and compiles them and, for $1.99, anyone can get personal information about you. I'm not sure if it'll show info if your profiles are set to private, but either way, it's a humbling reminder that you shouldn't have too much information about yourself on the internet!
I am so far behind the times. A friend of mine got me on to Facebook yesterday, so I've been adding a few things and I couldn't believe the networking going on out there. It is such a bittersweet thing because it keeps you in touch with people you haven't seen or talked to in ages and yet there is a lot of personal information floating around out there for the world to see. I'm going to keep my Facebook for just a little while to see how it goes. It is a little unnerving.
I've posted my photo before here on Purse Forum, but that old photo thread was deleted after some of our pictures appeared on another forum where guys alternately oogled at us or made fun of us.
I don't hesitate to put my pictures up on Facebook, etc., but I am no longer really willing to share my picture on a forum.
I don't post photos of myself or people I know ever. I will post pet photos though... I also don't do facebook or myspace, even though I know a lot of ppl do. It makes me very uncomfortable. There is enough data out there already- once you know my name and google it, the first thing that comes up is where I work. I can't stop that, but refuse to voluntarily put more info out there.
I don't have a problem with saying the general area where I live though, because it is a fairly large area.
