#Live Right At Night … Safe Status Updates
Happy Friday ladies. It’s spring in the city and that means you are going to be meeting up with friends (and lovers) and hanging out on the town. It probably also means you may post more status updates and photos using social media reflecting your minute-by-minute fun and fabulous times. We all know social media can help us and streamline our busy lives (and show them off) but with all the information we can access out there it can also be dangerous! People can access your information and location more than ever and for those who are single and dating this can prove to be even more dangerous. So ladies, before you send your updates here’s a few things to be aware of:
- Twitter location – people can see your location if you don’t turn off the “Location Finder” box on Twitter, and let’s be real: you don’t necessarily need people to know exactly where you are tweeting from every second of the day.
- FourSquare – Some of you even post when you are at home (i.e. Casa de Lindsay) – think about this before you do this, does everyone need to know when and where you are when you’re at home?
- Facebook – Be sure you don’t have too much personal and location information on your page, and make sure you regularly check your privacy settings (they often open up without you knowing it)
- Websites – Some women work from home and put their home address on their website – another No No – keep you personal life private!
We all remember traditional ways of saying safe, but sometimes the newer and more modern ways are forgotten! Have a fabulous Friday and wonderful weekend.
Smooches,
Dr. V
