That was a sneaky way to lure you here. Today I want to remind you about prophylactics, but not the kind you’re thinking of. The Internet kind.
Remember, Boomers, when in the 1960’s and 70’s we embraced the Pill without a thought to a looming future rife with STDs, and in the 1980s we embraced nose candy (oh, no, me neither!) without a thought as to dependency? Now that we’re older, I am now here to tell you the scary truth:
Social networking can be dangerous.
So many of us Boomers are embracing social netting, and that’s cool, but there is a bit of risk in oversharing on the Internet. I love networking, but even though I am careful, I worry that I might be exposing myself and my family with my online activities. That’s why I was happy to see “7 Things to Stop Doing Now on Facebook.”
For more dire warnings, Steve Olenski from Social Media Today offers a more complete list.
Now go have fun.
Hi Lynne,

Much appreciated!

And thank you for the good info, Steve.
Good job, Lynne! Too often, we get lax about this sort of thing — thanks for the sober reminder!
Lynne,
I appreciate the reality check about social networking. The links are very useful. And yes, you did get my attention!
