My last entry (Here I Come) was intended as a warning for those who use their real identities on social networking sites. Providing personal information adequate to individually identify you is extremely risky. You paint a virtual target on your back.
For example, I did a "Friend Search" for Folsom, CA. Within 2 minutes I found a female target. I learned enough about her to set up her schedule, she has no family, lives alone, she's prone to late night partying and of course her real name and pictures.
Imagine I'm a predator and she's my selected prey.
Protect yourselves and your families. Try to be as anonymous as possible except to your real friends. Cyberfriends don't count.
