Default Social Networking for Zombies.

Social Networking Sites such as MySpace,Bebo and Facebook, just to name a few, have been getting
some bad Press downunder. A Link here to the recent MySpace Recruitment for Zombie Computers,
Computerworld > Hacked MySpace page serves up fake Windows update and Identity Fraud incidents at Facebook (relating to New Zealanders) and
Undercover Australian Cops, posing as Young People on the Bebo Site.

One must be urged NOT to divulge too much Personal information on these Sites, to deter Identity Fraud.
Too much information may also be used against You, as it is common now for Employers to seek out info
on the Net, and recent events in New Zealand have shown that One may even be Fired from Your Job, due
to something written on a Social Networking Site.

Often less is best, and Your real Name, Telephone, Address and Personal information should be carefully considered before divulging.
.... but of course You can trust Me *salute*

Best regards from Tedz

Good points here altho those sites mentioned are used by vast amounts of young people here in the UK and alot of the time their inexperience in streetlife and the www leads them to post way too much info.
we also have had some bad press recently regarding employees being carpeted for their mainly dodgy looking photo exploits including the British Plod
