Here’s my advice on social networking: Don’t. Pure and simple, don’t waste your time. You want to talk to somebody, don’t send them a stupid IM. Call them on the phone, and talk like normal humans do. Society is becoming more and more antisocial because of social networking. Can you see the irony?

Hi Chris,

These are some great tips! Especially about being careful of what you share and how you share it. I say, go ahead and have some fun, share your pictures and what not but be aware of what you do post online cause as you say its gonna be there for a long! time.
Would it be okay for my to post these tips on my blog as part of a review I am doing? Thanks.

loving this Chris.

not all what you put on the web is there to stay.

if you host it then delete it. it not going to be there. if you say you need it to be delete. then it is or the host is going to be paying me £££ for it.

You never know who really is on the other side . . . even people you may think that are related to you may not be. Take a look at the presentation, “Satan is on my friends list,” which was given at Black Hat and DEF CON this year (available for download on their respective sites).

Interesting advice – seems like a common struggle is finding the balance between professionalism and being oneself. Should we censor what is on the internet to seem more professional? If so, how can we be ourselves if we are editing? If a potential employer decides to not hire based on online content of you being yourself, would you want to work for this person anyway?? Most importantly, are there really any “right” or “wrong” answers to these questions??

“Don’t trust people implicitly. You really have no way to find out if the person on the other side of the screen is being truthful about who and what they are.”

What about webcam?
