There has been growing popularity with social networks, from Facebook to MySpace and Twitter. Many people divulge private information through these sites. Social Networking sites have been using this information to target us, mostly for advertising. For example, if you are listed as single on Facebook, you will notice countless ads referring to ways to meet other singles like you. Facebook will also gear ads towards the interests you have listed. It is becoming more and more likely that this information will begin to be used for more than just advertising. You can follow this link to Tech News World to learn other creepy ways your information is used on Social Media sites.

More importantly we need to start protecting our information, online and off, and be more aware of what we post so causally on the web. It's good to remember that you are more likely to have personal information stolen when using a computer that is not your own. You do not know what kind of (if any) steps the own have taken to keep the computer secure. For more information on securing your information check out what Tech News World has to say.
