Even if your social networking sites are private, universities and businesses are now asking potential students and employees to open these pages to get a sense of who they are.

Facebook remembers everything and has the ability to sell everything you have ever posted to paying customers

Protect Yourself  Never post any sort of personal information on any public site  When shopping (or doing any activity with money) online only give personal information if the address URL begins with https or shttp or a small closed lock should appear in your browser status bar.  Ask friends not to tag you in photos. Tag yourself only in photos you want to share, you cannot guarantee your friend's accounts are private.
