This may seem obvious, but lots of people do it anyway. They send out a tweet (or post through some other social networking site) and they have their location setting turned on. This is especially true when you post from a smart phone. But think about it, do you really want anyone/everyone to know exactly where you are, right down to the geographical coordinates and a display on Google Maps? Do you really want potential robbers to know you’re not home? Also, don’t tweet or Facebook about being on vacation, out of the country, etc. That’s just an invitation for trouble.
In the news, a women on vacation with friends were tagged in some Facebook vacation photos and one of her so-called “friends” went to her house and robbed her of over $10,000 worth of things. Also keep that in mind when you set your Facebook privacy settings. Don’t let your friends share information about you and don’t let your “friends of friends” see your Facebook stuff.
