Social networking can lead to a lot of trouble. 
Funny and scary at the same time. Imagine something going wrong with just one status update. You never know what your update will lead to.
Updating status with a line saying “I am out for a vacation” or “I wont be home till next week” can lead you getting robbed . These days burglars search the social networking site to see who is out-of-town and prone to robbery. Police busted a bunch of burglars and they said they used Facebook as a tool to gather intelligence on who is home and who is not home. 
One should always be extra careful while using such social networking sites.
To prevent such things :
- Avoid such updates all together.
- If at all you are updating, change the privacy settings of your account. Make your post visible to only a certain number of people.
Facebook provides lots of privacy settings for your account, so keep searching new ways to be safe and enjoy problem free Facebook How many privacy settings do you know about? What all should be kept in mind? Share your interesting views with me through the comments.
