I have always been very concerned with how open online social networking can be and have been vocal on how using location based social platforms like Foursquare send out more info to more people than most people realize.
In a recent article posted in the Dallas Morning News: Leave Facebook at Home, the Dallas police warn people on posting in their social spaces information about them being on vacation.
I agree. Since the criminal element is now becoming even more tech savvy and social friendly than ever before and more reports are coming out on how what someone posts in their social network..Face, Twitter and others…was how the criminal used to find out someone was not at home or locating their whereabouts.
There have been reports from all over the world on how Foursquare has served as a radar system for burglars and muggers. It simply is amazing how so many people completely disregard their personal safety in an effort to gain influence or win a prize.
The world has changed in so many ways. Now you can’t go on vacation and enjoy it with friends afar without worrying who else is enjoying your absence.
Let’s be safe out there over Spring Break and let me know how I can help.
