Social bookmarking sites like MySpace.com, del.icio.us and digg.com are great. You can share lists of user-created Internet bookmarks and enjoy other awesome applications. However beware: there is identity theft among the social bookmarking users.

Here's a basic scenerio:

People rush to sign up at the social bookmarking sites.
They register and mindless begin filling out their profiles......sharing lots of personal information like date of birth, complete name and contact information / location (email, phone number, personal photos) and even more.


But guess what? Most people do not use the privacy settings offered by the sites. And they should. Learn more about  Identity Theft Issues with Social Networking Sites and be safer online. Spread the word, too, and help others you know online get and stay safe!
