Fear of Social Networking
Filed in archive Work, School, Life by Linda Roeder on August 16, 2007

, orsocialis commissura phobia (latin, I'm 85% sure this would be the correct phrase), is caused by the fear of posting something online and then having your posts or photos found by someone you know, or maybe even your employer or future employer.
As more and more people get online and start using social networking sites, more and more people are in danger of having their personal lives found out. If you post something about your sex life and your mom found it, you might be devastated. If you post photos of you at a wild party and your boss found it, you could be fired.
Employers and future employers are also using social networking sites and blogs to find out more about you before they hire you. If you're looking for a job, you may want to be careful what you post.
If you want to be really careful that no one finds your personal info online try following these simple rules:
1. Don't post your real name.
2. Don't post pics of your face.
3. Don't post on your site or blog where you live, work or go to school.
4. Don't post photos of your family and friends.
5. Don't post any other information that could give away who you really are.
