The first thing that you need to check is the things that you are posting online. This is because in the networking sites anybody can see anybody’s profile. It is not important that the member of the site has to be your friend to see your profile and can obtain your personal information.

The second thing that you need to check is to see the profile of the person deeply whom you are going to make your friend. Check especially those who contact you. Almost all the social sites are free to join. This means that anybody can make any number of fake profiles. If someone says that my name is John, it does not mean that his name is necessarily John. His name can be anything like Smith, James, etc. Everybody does not tell the truth in social networking site.

Suppose you are chatting with someone online and while chatting you do not feel comfortable, then it is strictly advised that you end the conversation immediately to avoid any further discomfort.

Some people can also ask you to meet. So if you are willing to meet them then it is recommended that you have to be conscious. Do not ever meet a person after a short conversation. Also do not ever meet at his or your home. Meet at public places like a restaurant which is full of people. Chat at least for one month before meeting the person.

These are some of the precautions that you have to keep in mind to play safe in social networking sites. Safety is the first thing that you should keep in mind as it is yours and only yours.
