12 tips for safe social networking

Social networking is the killer Internet app, but it can also lead directly to identity theft.

TIP 7 – Search yourself:

It's a good idea to search your name on Google and check out your profile as others see it on social networking sites. Understand where you are showing up and what information is available about you, and then adjust your profile, settings and habits appropriately. Don't worry, it's not vain if you only search your own name once a month or so.
