Social Networking: Use With Caution
September 22nd, 2010
It’s fall! This is the time of year that reminds me of apples, blue skies with crisp air and the sound of leaves under foot. For many people it is a time to remember high school football games, college mixers, old loves, old friends. Nostalgia can lead a person to dust off the yearbook, look through old pictures, think back with fondness and then reach out and type that name into the computer. STOP!!!! Do you really want to do that? There is probably a really good reason that you stopped going out with Sweetcheeks. Time does heal most wounds and we forget the pain and remember the joy. Maybe old Sweetcheeks is still the same cheating jerk you went out with way back when, but this time Sweetcheeks wants to cheat with you. Think carefully before you reach out and push “Enter”.
You pushed the button anyway, didn’t you?
Well, we always wonder about the road not taken. Sweetcheeks may sound pretty good over the internet, may look pretty good, may seem like someone you coulda woulda shoulda ended up with. We have had quite a few cases in the past few years where people have connected with old flames via the internet. But that Facebook page can do a lot more than lead you down Memory Lane. Be careful whom you “friend” on Facebook and even more careful of what you post. Remember, whatever you share on Facebook you share with your spouse, the lawyer, the court, your family and friends etc. etc. etc. And it’s not just your direct statements that can be used; it’s the pictures of you drunk at the rock concert, at the beach instead of on a business trip, writing that your marital status is now “engaged” or “in a relationship” when it used to say “married”. If you and your spouse have mutual friends, de-friending your spouse is not going to mean he or she doesn’t know what’s posted. There is always someone who can’t wait to forward on the information you posted. But even if you don’t have a Facebook page, does Sweetcheeks have one? There are many places your picture and comments can appear.
