DC Internet Safety

What social networking site did you explore and what settings in that site should users be aware? Explore other participants thoughts to see if any of them apply to any social networking sites you or your students may be using.

I chose to explore Facebook privacy settings.  I went ahead and did the privacy checkup that it prompted and noticed a couple settings on my profile that were set to public and not to "friends" as all my other settings are.  There were also 12 apps that I've used facebook to log in and I wound up deleting half of them.  All of my other privacy settings were in place as I preferred them.  But, I did remember changing my profile pic earlier in the month and if you don't want people who aren't your friends to see your photos, you need to go into your albums and select each photo and then select "edit privacy" and then select if you want the photo to be public, friends, friends except, or just me.  I prefer my profile to be almost blank if people are searching for me and we are not friends.
