"Going on vacation? Think before you tweet"

Submitted by Safe Internet on Wed, 2009-08-19 11:45

Consumerman Herb Weisbaum recently interviewed our president, Linda Criddle for MSNBC to help identify the risks to consumers if they overshare information via their Twitter accounts, and how to think about posting more safely.

Two points in the article we found particularly thought-provoking for any soon-to-be vacationer were:

  • People have replaced sending postcards to friends and family with “vacation tweets,” but “vacation tweets” aren’t postcards, they’re more like national television commercials any one can see.
  •  “Twitter is a great tool,” says Internet security expert Linda Criddle, who runs the Web site iLOOKBOTHWAYS.com. But she worries about people who “seriously over-share” on Twitter and other social networking sites and do it in real time. “They’re excited and make assumptions that everyone who is reading what they post is good and kind.”
