What does your Facebook profile say about you?

As you upload photos and status updates to sites like Facebook and Twitter, remember, people are watching you. Most people do not think about any potential negative consequences from posting to social networking sites. However, more and more teens are suffering consequences in the real world due to postings done in the cyber world.

A side note #1: This year, UGA locker room was robbed by recruits. Police figured out which recruit it was after the recruit tweeted about ipods to sell.

A side note #2: In 2000 or 2001, Penn State beat Ohio State at home in the fall football season. There is a law against rushing the field. Students rushed the field. Police used facebook to track down who rushed the field so they could issue tickets. Students who rushed the field had either taken their picture on the field or posted in the group "I rushed the field and here is my photo on the field".
