Have you ever gotten in trouble with family or friends because of something you posted on Twitter or Facebook? There is a new book out telling about people whose lives have been ruined because of something they posted. They lost their jobs or got death threats, or stuff like that.

No because I don't use social media like that.  I have facebook and a twitter account but I never use them.  I don't let my personal business hang out like that.  I have a personal fb and I only have people on it I know in real life I don't have millions of "friends."  I can't even remember the last time I posted anything on it.

I have another fb account that I used to get referrals for my different sites.  I used twitter for that as well.  I also don't use my real name on any of the accounts so if you don't know me personally you will not be able to find me.

No I haven't. I've definitely heard stories like that though, about people getting into a lot of trouble. Some people just don't think before they post things.

I have a lot of family out there and I do have a facebook page. A lot of my family uses facebook and I do not have a single family member under mine. I think there is always going to be a misunderstanding, arguing/bickering, hurt feelings going on so that is the reason I do not have them as friends on my facebook page.

No, I can't say I have. But, then again I rarely ever post on Facebook. I'm more active on Twitter and I only share my opinions about various topics or share various stuff I find interesting. Otherwise, most of the time I'm just reading what others post. I also avoid over-sharing about my personal life, unlike most people on social media.

If I read something that upsets me, I DO NOT post immediately, just because I do not want to say anything that will haunt me later.  I am only friends with family and close friends and family.  We have a special page set up just for family news, pictures and events.
