Identity Tip for Facebook

Call me paranoid, but I just want to put out a quick message to Facebook users and their children about putting birthdates on profiles. If you think about it, there is entirely too much info on there and can easily be retrieved by "friends" of friends and sometimes the general public. I know I'm a kill joy, but identity theft is serious, it's on the rise, and it is almost unavoidable in this tech world we live in. Just trying to keep everyone safe! D.

Everything that is put on facebook is serious, things can always be retrived even when deleted. Remember, all employers have the opportunity to google your name and can ruin your chances of job opportunities. Even your friends or boyfriends and things they have written or sites that they list can have a bad reaction towards you. An example, the site that Eric has listed on his facebook page could hurt H's reputation.
