Social Networking Safely

I just read a really informative blog post titled Navigating the Minefield of Memes

The basic premise is all too familiar. Many people consider Facebook and other social networking fun. It can be.

But beware: One example of how people give away info innocently that can compromise bank accounts and other secure accounts is by answering fun quizzes about themself. In these quizzes, you are often revealing answers to website security questions.

The simple word of caution: think before you post. Then, enjoy reading what your friends are up to. :-)
