Social Networks, should I or should I not?
I know peoples who don’t use social networks at all. They like their identity or life to be private. That’s their own thing, every one has their own opinion about what’s good to say or tell and what’s good to use or not.
I myself fully embrace social networks. Well I do to some extend. All the information I post there are normally public stuff. I sometime put my personal phone number. As I don’t really care because it’s publicly available from my phone company website. I say some stuff that I find interesting, that could probably be of some interest to some people. If I have something private, I normally just don’t write it on the web. That’s it. Plain and simple as that.
Some social networks helps me a lot. Some of those helps me find working contract. Some helps me stay in touch with people, others, I’m just a peep who find what other people are saying interesting. It’s all a mater of context.
But one thing I find quite important, I do register on every social networks that I can for one simple reason. I put flags, just like the United States did on the moon. I register an account, it might be dormant as I have no use for this network. But one thing is for sure, this account is mine and nobody can claim it. Nobody can create an account with my public infos and say that they are the real me.
That’s it plain and simple, I make sure that my presence is personally taken care of. I make sure that someone can’t go ahead and pass as myself to my friends and family.
I protect my online personality. (well that’s what I think I’m doing, as always, I might be wrong)
