Guilty!
Some good advice from a recent Today Show piece about Twitter helping thieves. If we are tweeting about our every move …
- I’m at the movie.
- I’m at the airport waiting for a flight.
- I’m in another city on vacation.
- I’m at the dog park.
… we’re letting potential thieves know we’re not at home.
It seems hard for me to imagine leaving out my whereabouts when on Twitter — usually the only interesting stuff I do is when I’m on the road. But it does make me stop and think about letting a large number of people know I’m not at home.
Granted, I could have a big, burly roommate and it is true that I have a big dog, but advertising you’re away on Twitter or Facebook is like letting your newspapers and mail pile up at your front door.
So, for whatever it’s worth, twitter (or is it tweet-er) beware!
