Twitter Safety Tips
1)Never Tweet your phone number or address.
2)Don't tweet specifics about your location. Telling strangers that you're having a great lunch at the Panera Bread on the Expressway is a bad idea.
3)Remember that even private Tweets can occasionally be read.
4)Sometimes Twitter breaks. For the longest time you could even see private Tweets when you used Twitter search.
5)Never give out your Twitter password. It could get very ugly if you had a Twitter-impersonator.
Twitter Safety Tips1)Remember that Tweets can Haunt You for Years to Come2)Even if you delete Tweets, they can be archived by
services such as the Way Back Machine (http://www.archive.org)
3)Only follow people you know in real life.4)Mark your tweets private so that only your friends can
read them. Do this if you intend to share a lot of details about your daily life, so that strangers have to ask permission to get your updates.
Safety Tips
1)Keep Your Profile Information Short and Impersonal.
2)Don't Tweet and Drive.
What can I do?

settings. Try the websites yourself. You can use a safety software to protect
your younger child. There are free ones out there.
