I'm worried about some of you.  After reading this article you will understand.  Too much information (TMI).  First of all last names --- so easy to know --- combine that with your city and vacation plans or evening out plans; an invitation to a thief.  Your Mom's maiden name;  financial information.  Your employer ... all your boss has to do is do a search to find out which employees are disgruntled.  Let your imagination go.  That's what a dishonest person does.  If you think it's possible, it's been done.

I agree. You will notice that I say very little on Facebook. In looking at some of the comments of my "friends," I think to myself--I would never hire these people. And . . . I'm not even looking to hire anyone. You'll also notice I don't have any pictures on FB. I think I'm almost done with that phase (FB).
