[b]Social media has revolutionized our lives and the way we communicate and share information. However, such a big boom in opportunities puts some of us off guard. Here are things you should never share on Facebook and here is why.Mind you we are not going to talk about some extreme cases of openness. However, people often disclose this information only to regret it later.(1) YOUR RELATIONSHIP STATUS: It’s none of their business whether you are married or single, dating someone or open for a relationship. This info should be viewed as private. Why? Well, there are many busybodies who can dig it out and start talking. Young ladies who set “open for relationship” status on Facebook and go to churches get talked down both by men and women.Plus, you risk attracting wrong people and evoking their interest. So, keep this secret and if someone wants to know it, first find out who and why is asking! (2) YOUR PHONE NUMBER: Recently Facebook has made a decision to link your cell number to your account. So, when someone types in your cell, they can find your profile on Facebook and fish out much information from. Many retailers and companies do this to send you ads or promote you their products. You can disable this function and keep the information private. And avoid sharing the phone number in your Settings of the FB page. (3) YOUR AGE: Why keep it hidden? Well, mostly this info is used by advertisers and promoters. You can make it available to your friends only and keep it like that. It’s the smartest decision. (4) HOME ADDRESS: There are many maniacs and all kinds of people online. If they know where you live, they can show up at your doorstep! You surely do not want that to happen. Some guys start stalking girls online, if they know your address, they can start doing it offline too. (5) YOUR PHOTO WITH NO CLOTHES ON: That one seems to be obvious and yet… Many girls set photos in bra or lingerie as their profile pictures. Just think who you attract by those. It’s dangerous and such things should be kept private.[/b]
