ANOTHER PITFALL OF SOCIAL NETWORKING

Here is another thought associated with the problems that may attend social networking.

Just recently, I read an article written in the New Jersey Law Journal, where the author suggested that the information posted on these sites can be used to obtain insight into a potential juror or witness and even a potential business associate.

The author beleives, as I do, that people who participate in social networking on the internet tend to disclose more of themselves then in a person-to-person conversation and while some services do not allow full access to the subscriber's profile information unless you are a "friend," others are not so restrictive.

Again, be very careful of the information you post on a social network site.
