Websites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram make it easy to keep in contact with friends and family, but it\u2019s important to keep etiquette in mind. Here are 4 things you should avoid doing on social media:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Complaining\u00a0about your job<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maybe a coworker is getting on your nerves or your boss is hard to work with, but don\u2019t complain about your job on social media. Although you may think your privacy settings are on, nothing on the Internet is really private. If you wouldn\u2019t want your boss to see your status or message, then don\u2019t post it.<br \/>\n<strong>Getting\u00a0in online arguments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s one thing to share your opinion on a post or reply to a message, but it\u2019s a whole other thing to get into an argument. If you feel the need to argue with someone, save everyone else the grief and resolve the situation in person.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Uploading\u00a0excessive amounts of pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s fun to share pictures to keep your family, friends and colleagues updated on your life, but mass amounts of pictures will do more harm than good. Much like complaining about your job, nothing is really private on the Internet. So if you aren&#8217;t comfortable with your boss or coworkers stumbling across your weekend pictures, don\u2019t post them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sharing\u00a0personal information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You may think it\u2019s harmless to have your email, phone number and\/or address available on your social media profiles but it can result in\u00a0serious\u00a0consequences. \u00a0If you have your address available online, you become more vulnerable towards burglaries and identity theft. Even if you just post your phone number that\u2019s enough information for someone to retrieve your home address.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to social media, it&#8217;s wise to err\u00a0on the side of caution when sharing personal information.
