What a lot of people don't realize is that their details can read like a jig saw puzzle. Something people can try for themselves to see how much info they have out there is to type their name into Google, and do a search for themselves. Another, as you showed me once, is to type their username on various networking sites comes up - it can be really scary, especially in regard to birth dates and so on!

By the way, if your user name does connect to your phone number, all it takes is searching a reverse phone directory to find out who you are and possibly where you live. Phone books are rather frightening tools if you're concerned about your privacy and safety. @Matt You're welcome. Glad you liked it! :) @Beauty Glad I could help. I love social networking and want others to enjoy it too, but feel safety on here is just as important as having our children wear protective gear when they're biking or skating.

A LOT of people don't realize how important their birthdate is, unfortunately, and it's become a bad habit of most websites to request your birth day and year when you're signing up, and then that information is shared with everyone who can connect with you somehow. Scary! @Liza Thank you.
