My son is only 7 years old now, so we haven’t had to address this issue with him yet; however, my wife’s 15 year old cousin stays with us during spring break and a couple of times during the summer. She was texting, on FaceBook, or Skyping every time I looked this summer. It’s definitely second nature to them.

I am particularly sensitive about it for my kids. For their generation it is second nature to put pictures, videos, etc for everything they do. I even have to tell me kids to ask each other permission before they post a picture of their brother or sisters.

And, like has already been said, sometimes it is just your association with someone that doesn’t make the same decisions as you do.

As a blogger I try to be cautious and sensitive to what I post. Still wisdom is in the eye of the beholder.

Great post Brad.

Absolutely. It’s very important to check out the profile of the other person before accepting the friend request. If all informations are hidden or something looks fishy, I generally do not accept the friend request (specially on FB).

What I want to know is why were they following her tweets? Maybe she used a hashtag, that was just way too fishy for me. And, you’re right – they should have EXCELLENT customer service.

The Truman Show! That’s what social media is doing to us.

You’re talking about someone getting fired … I recently heard about someone who didn’t get hired because she tweeted that the interview went great! Before she got home, she received the message that the company frowned upon things like that and she was not the candidate for them. Wow.

Finally, I have a confession to make. I was on the train one evening going home from work and this woman occupied two seats because she was slumped over asleep and I was angry I couldn’t have one of them so she was one of my first Twitpics … Brad, I couldn’t dare wake her for permission. (I won’t do it again.)
