When do social networking sites get too personal? December 6, 2009 No Comments
Social networking sites are the newest phenomenon to hit the internet scene. They’re a great way to keep in contact, raise your profile and create great business links. But there seems to be a growing debate about social networking sites and users’ personal details.
Now we all know Stephen Fry and social networking sites aren’t always the best of friends. Earlier this year he took exception to a fan on Twitter who accused him of being boring and threatened to quit the site. In the end he accepted an apology from the culprit and stayed on the site.
