Facebook has more than 500 million active users. If you are like me, you enjoy checking FB to see what’s going on with friends and family. How do we keep it from being an addiction?

Covenant Eyes has a good post here with tips for helping your teen use Facebook responsibly.

Social Networking and Older Adults

Frequently when we talk about online safety and social networking we focus on children and teens. A new report from Pew Internet challenges that idea. Click here for the full report.

Social networking uses among users age 50 and over has nearly doubled in the past year, up from 22% in 2009 to 42% in 2010. Are all of these users aware of privacy settings and security issues? Are we in the church providing training for them?

Our challenge is to help all the 21st Century Sheep, whether young or old, navigate safely and with integrity online.
