I have two rules when it comes to posting updates online. First I never post something that I would not want my grandmother to read, and secondly I never post anything when I am in an emotional frame of mind.

Social media has become such an integrated part of our lives. This is okay but I think some people need to display a little more discretion. The much used example of employers tracking staff activities outside of work does happen and it will continue. I shudder at some of the things people post, things that will likely come back and bite them in the backside.

But what others do is their own business. All I can do is be careful with my social techie-footprints.
