The wonderful word of Facebook. Facebook is a great social networking site, and also serves as a good cyber location to connect with peers. Many people post status updates to talk about what they are doing or what is on their mind, but this raises a question for me.

When do Facebook posts become too personal? And Tommy Jordan seemed to have thought his daughter went too far when she complained about her chores over Facebook. He reacted by shooting her computer with a gun to convey his message that what she was doing was not acceptable.

On a reasoning level, I agree with Jordan because his daughter was sharing very personal information with many people that may not know her on that level and now that opinion is etched into their minds of her father. He expressed that he felt he could get through to his daughter any other way and that this was something she needed to understand.

Sometimes I understand we want a place to express our feelings and receive feedback from our 500 closest friends, I do it too. But at the same time we are opening up that door into our personal lives that may not need to be opened with our Facebook friend group.

Facebook is something future employers may look at and could sadly judge you by content that is present on your page. So instead of trying to hide what has already been released to the Internet world, rethink your purpose behind your posts and think about those who will be on the receiving end of them and those who the posts could include.

Final thought: Private information becomes public with just one click, so think before you click.
