Things You Should Never Post on Facebook

Oversharing - Ten years ago the word had a whole different meaning. These days it all comes down to the internet and social media. People are constantly writing TMI and don't even realize it. Let's go over a few things to NEVER POST on social media.

1. Allusive messages directed at one person
If you have something to say to that person then say it to that person. Don't post it for the world to see. The wrong person could see it and think it's for them when it's really meant for someone else.

2. Work related frustrations.
Your potential future employers, co-workers and peers could see it and think you are difficult to work with. Posting around work-related issues could also jeopardize your job with your current employer. If you don't believe me, see this story: Man Kills Boss Over Facebook Post

3. Relationship Updates
Unless you are getting married or engaged, we don't need to know all about your dating life. Your good friends will know when things are getting serious because they will see your significant other popping up in tagged photos.

4. Political Rants
This is so hard to resist. Chances are your political views differ from at least a few of your facebook friends. Unless you're looking for a big debate or political argument it's best to keep your views to yourself.

5. Drunk Photos
Set your facebook preferences so that you must approve all tags from other people. Otherwise you might end up with some drunk photos from when you went out partying with some friends. You might not remember that moment when everyone started snapping away pics on their iphones of the group doing shots, and you certainly don't want to wake up to a big surprise on your timeline.
