Keepin' it private


Because this is my very first experience with a blog, I am a little hesitant. After doing research, I have learned that there is NO “right way” to blog. Everyone has their own unique way of posting words, whether it’s from gathered information or their own thoughts. I’m not sure why I had trouble getting this second blog post out there but I did and now, here it is. I used to see a blog as just an online casual journal but the more it is stressed that it is used in a business sense, the more it gives me anxiety that I put the right information and “stuff” on my Blog.
This brings me to my next thought…the other day in my Ad/Pr 490 Class, we discussed the privacy of Social Media. I have always been very careful with “who” sees my Facebook account and “what” has been put up on my Facebook page. The reason I only mention Facebook is because although I have a Twitter, MySpace, Pinterest, etc. account, Facebook is the one social network that I use most often. Although I am as careful as I can be, I always feel like there still are ways for anyone to see my information. Dr. Childers, from my 490 Class, mentioned a blog post on Facebook Privacy. The post is entitled “10 settings Every user needs to know.” In order to view this blog, go to http://mashable.com/2011/02/07/facebook-privacy-guide/. When updating your privacy settings on Facebook, you may feel like you’re forgetting something, or at least I do, and not all your information is blocked. This blog really helped me to feel confident that all of my information was hidden and hopefully this will help others.
