Youtube : Don't Broadcast yourself

Hey! So I figured because I don't have any homework now, and my blog post deadline is coming to an end very soon (before exams!), I might as well start finishing them off now.

Today's subject is going to be about the dangers of Youtube and how to protect yourself, as much as you can on Youtube.

While Youtube may be a great way to get your band known, or your awesome editing skills shown to the world, it is also very dangerous. You never know what kind of creep lurks around every corner of the web, and with Youtube's anonymity, you never know who could be watching your video or creeping around your channel.

Here are a few tips that could help reduce some dangers of that Youtube may contain:

• When making a Youtube channel solely for the purpose of favoring video's, or adding comments to someone else channel, make sure not to put any information that could lead to where you are (don't put your real address, last and first names, your facebook account page,  and phone number). There's also the option of making a private channel.
• When making a Youtube Channel so you can upload videos, try not to state where you are (i.e, what city in what country), don't put any real information if you intend not to be found
• If you're making a youtube channel so you could be discovered, don't put your phone number. Instead, add your email address, or a twitter (if you have one).
• If you don't want anyone to comment on your channel, remember, there's always a "disable comment" section before uploading a video. 

Remember that whatever you put on the Internet will come an haunt you some way (if it's embarrassing). If the video is of you doing something amazing, then good luck in the future :)
