#63: Too much details

Here's another interesting news about burglars using social networking such as facebook or tweeter to find targets.

Facebook users enthusing about an upcoming holiday or a recently purchased high-tech gadget may not just be telling their friends but also potential burglars, warns an insurance company.

A survey of 2,092 social media users by British-based Legal & General found nearly four in ten, or 38 percent, of people using social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter post details about holiday plans and 33 percent details of a weekend away.

Too much details in posting your activities could be trouble. One thing to avoid is to make sure you check who are trying to be in your friends' circle.

More on facebook. For those iphone users, there's a new version of the facebook apps. You can check the features here. Then download it using your iphone's Apps store.
