Think first before posting certain facts on Facebook

This is an excellent article about some of the facts you should probably be careful about posting on Facebook. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/09/28/dcot.socialmedia.privacy/index.html

Think twice about posting:

--your birthdate (can be used for identity theft)

--your mother as a friend (hackers can use her maiden name to answer security questions)

--your vacation plans (burglars can be tipped off)

One way to make your site more secure is to create "lists" that allow complete information to only close friends and family (so maybe you can friend mom after all).
