7. Facebook does collect data – but you choose to be there and what to share – so NEVER share anything you wouldn’t want on a billboard with your name and photo next to it.

8. Setup Personal/Professional Lists for Facebook Friends:

9. Login into Facebook > Account > Edit Friends > Add to List > Create New List

10. Setup Privacy Restrictions:

12. Read the fine print of all social networks – don’t just skip past the Terms of Service.

13. Be professional – there’s no sense in being online if you aren’t going to represent yourself well. If you wouldn’t say something out loud in a professional setting, then it probably does not belong in a status update.

14. Avoid the sweeping generalizations & fear tactics in some headings & titles.
