I'm usually too tired to update my blog unless there is a subject worth writing about. Such is the case this time...
I love Facebook. It is way for me to keep touch with my friends and family especially during an era when we are spread out to the four corners of the earth. I love it when my sisters post pictures and comments online because it is as if I get to see into their lives often in near real-time and even though we are miles apart, I still feel a part of their lives. (Love you siblings!)
But what Facebook is NOT for is a place to air out your grievances against specific individuals. Facebook is NOT a place to write slanderous things about others. People others are watching! Not just your 500 + friends but anyone who is connected to them (which could potentially be the whole online planet!)
In this day and age your digital persona carries a lot of weight. Potential employers Google you to see what your digital footprint says about you (well what YOU "says" about YOU bcause it is You who probably posted it). Try doing it with your name and you'll be surprised by what the search engine pulls up.
There is far better expert commentary out there on the subject so I won't continue. Lets just sum it up with the following:
Better be comfortable with EVERYONE reading what you write on here because once you put it out there in cyberspace its out there FOREVER!
