The 5 dumbest things you can do online

[Bluedot]

When you spend as much as one third of your life online, it’s easy to make a dumb mistake. The wrong click can trigger an unnecessary chain of events that will cost you time, money and focus. Just last week, John installed so much adware that his PC seems to have gone on strike.

In Silicon Valley, there’s a saying: If you aren’t paying for a product, you are the product. That means Facebook’s product isn’t a set of tools that makes it easier for friends to connect. Facebook’s product is the 650 million people it can market to using the trust we all have for our friends. Gmail scans your email to deliver ads based on your intimate communication. That’s the cost of using the site. Sites that share free movies and music may also be sharing free malware. On the Internet, “free” is just another word for “Watch out!” Facebook definitely has some privacy problems. It will continually push you to share more and more without ever telling you what not to share. Sharing is their business; encouraging shyness isn’t. So lways remember the mantra: never expect anyone else to protect your privacy.

That is one big reason why I don't use facebook or any other social networking websites.
Sharing is not wrong but depends on what.
