How to stay safe on social networks

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008 - No Comments »

social networks.jpgAn Ofcom report has come out today, warning of the dangers to children who are unaware of the risks of leaving your personal info to run free on your social networks. There’s 25% of 8-11 year olds who have sneakily ticked the ‘yeah, I am *totally* the right age to use one of these things’ when really they should have stayed away.

But it’s not just a kid-based thing - most of us are guilty of sharing a little too much online, so here are a few tips to keep you safe.

1) If you wouldn’t say it to a stranger, don’t post it
If a man stopped you in the street and asked for your full address, date of birth and email address, would you give it to him? Hell, no. So don’t put it online - that man on the street is a lot harder to trace when he’s nothing more than an IP address.

2) Be aware of your networks

I once posted a post-date analysis on Facebook, thinking the boy in question wouldn’t see it. I didn’t realise that by joining the London network everyone in that could see my full profile - ouch. This is customisable now, so go into the ‘Privacy’ area of FB and check out who you’ve allowed full access to your profile.

Beyonce and Jay-Z Getting Married

The music superstars have taken out a marriage license in Westchester’s Scarsdale Village, People.com reported Tuesday.

The pair reportedly got the license yesterday morning, which means the earliest they could get hitched is Wednesday. Otherwise, it’s good for 60 days anywhere in New York State.

A spokeswoman for Beyoncé refused to comment, and Jay-Z’s rep couldn’t be reached.

The Destiny’s Child diva and the rap mogul have been an item since 2002, and rumors that they plan to make it legal have been heating up.

As the Daily News reported this week, while Beyoncé was out of town filming an Etta James biopic recently, Jay-Z met with her younger sister, Solange, at Miami’s Delano hotel.

Sources said the topic of discussion was popping the question to Beyoncé - and asking her manager-dad’s permission for her hand in marriage.

All that Beyoncé, 26, and Jay-Z, 38, would have needed to get a license in Scarsdale was proof of identity and age, and $40.

Diaz hasn’t been involved in a serious relationship since splitting from pop heartthrob Justin Timberlake last year.

She said: “It’s been nice not having a boyfriend for the past year. In fact, it’s the first time I haven’t had one in 10 years and I’m enjoying what I’m getting out of this moment.

“I could be in a relationship if I wanted to be but I haven’t finished doing what I’m doing. But when I’m in a relationship I’m very loyal and committed. I give a lot.”

Cameron - who dated Justin for almost four years - insists she gets lots of romantic offers but believes some men are intimidated by her because she is a “lot of woman”.

The 35-year-old actress added in an interview with GQ magazine: “I do get asked out. It’s fun. But I’m a lot of woman - in a lot of ways.

“And I understand that can be intimidating.”

Britney Spears Job Offers Keep Rolling In

The Daily Star claims the American star has been offered the chance to appear on the West End playing iconic character Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire.

Producers must figure that Blanche’s character is one of the few even more messed up than Britney.

A source on the proposed production tells the paper, “She has poise, timing and a real flair. We’d wanted her for Blanche because even though she’s technically too young to play her, who else could embody this fallen southern belle so well?

“She’s living out the story, so to harness that on stage would be amazing for an audience to see - and cathartic for Britney too.”

Focus on Britney’s acting talents - showcased for all to see in her one and only movie lead Crossroads - has reawakened after her cameo appearance on the ‘How I Met Your Mother’ sitcom.
