Online Security

What are you like with things online???

I feel pretty safe on Oh Baby to talk about things and have photos on here. I have a Bebo and FB but those are both private pages that only my friends can see and also on FB I only allow my friends to see the photos. I don't even trust some of my friends friends that I know who won't add me or accept the add from me to see the photos of my boys.

Im probably the same. Probably feel a bit too safe on OB. I keep bebo on private though and only let people I know and trust access it.
I do have blogspots for just photos although very few people know about it and it doesnt get many views, its mainly to share photos with grandparents.

I go through phases. I started off being ultra cautious - not posting any personal information and using the bare minimum to sign up, never posting photos etc.

The more I spend time on here and one other forum I visit the more relaxed I get. But then I read something about internet security or someone being hassled because of the info they have on the net and I get all anal again. I'm going through an ultra security-concious phase right now - hence no avatar photo and a lot of my photos I've taken off photobucket. I like OHBaby! but because it's such an open forum I'm a bit more conservative here.

Facebook I have a very limited profile with the highest security settings I could get on there.

For all that, my name is very easily googled due to my previous job, there are heaps of links to my contact details on press releases etc. I don't really like it but can't do anything about it now.

I don't really feel safe with any info online, but balance that up against being part of the community in these types of forums - I know you have to give something of yourself to recieve the benefits of the community, as in - why should you trust or talk to me if I don't give much info about myself.
