Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace are places where computer users can freely exchange ideas, build existing relationships, and forge new friendships. However, the anonymous nature of the Web has made it necessary to educate young people about the dangers of sharing personal information over the Internet. This vital guide teaches readers how to make their online profiles more private. It also stresses the importance of keeping information from users they don't know and highlights the many reasons to avoid "friending" a stranger on the Web.
