Secure Your Facebook

The article I read was called, “5 Ways to Secure Your Facebook Profile in a post-Timeline World." This article talks about ways that you can secure your Facebook. The timeline is becoming more and more popular as the days goes on. Some people made the change right away, others waited for others to get the timeline, while others never changed theirs, but soon will come to find out, that it will change on its own. Everytime Facebook changes, so does your privacy settings. This being said, you should be checking your privacy checking one in a while. The first way is to limit your connections, which means limit it to those who can find you, add you, look at your pictures or send you pictures. The second way is to tailor your tags, which means don't allow just some random person to tag you in your picture. The third way is rein in app permission, which means people need to get permission to send you an app. That makes perfect sense because you should have a say in who is sending you apps and if you really want them. The fourth way is stop others from taking your information with them. This prevents people from sharing your information through apps or other websites. The fifth step, last, but not least is reduce your social footprint. This means to limit your posts to a limited number of friends, not everyone. I believe this was a great and useful article. I believe everyone that has a Facebook should read this article. It gives great hints about securing your websites. Facebook is a whole new world, but as in any world we have to be protected. You have to be careful with what you post, comment or tag on Facebook. Facebook is a scary place because people can find your information and know more than you want people to know about you. You need to be aware of the information you put on Facebook. Just make sure you know that people will see information and some of it should be private. Just be cautious of what you put on Facebook because you never know who can see it or be looking at it.
