US-CERT Cyber Security Tip ST06-003 -- Staying Safe on Social Network Sites: "particular interest.
What security implications do these sites present?
Social networking sites rely on connections and communication, so they encourage you to provide a certain amount of personal information. When deciding how much information to reveal, people may not exercise the same amount of caution as they would when meeting someone in person because
the internet provides a sense of anonymity
the lack of physical interaction provides a false sense of security
they tailor the information for their friends to read, forgetting that others may see it
they want to offer insights to impress potential friends or associates"
