Reposting private info

by Trench on December 30th, 2006

Some Rethink Posting of Private Info:
This is an excellent article from Martha Irvine, an AP journalist that I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with before. It deals with the perils and pitfalls of posting your personal information on MySpace and other social sites. Apparently some people still don’t get it�

Walls of an auditorium were covered with thousands of sheets of paper printouts from MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and other online sites that were filled with back-stabbing gossip, unflattering images, and details about partying and dating exploits.

Each posting was easily accessed online, no password needed. But seeing them on paper and in some cases, being asked to read them aloud grabbed the attention of members of the North American Federation of Temple Youth, who gathered earlier this year at a camp outside New York City. That each of the pages mentioned their organization in some way only made it that much more embarrassing.

This is a must read for anybody who uses a MySpace.
