5 Damage Control Tips For Social Media [Social Media]

1.Gmail goggles

Turn on Mail Goggles before heading out for drinks. The feature, which is a hit with party animals, prevents you from sending out reckless declarations of love or hatred. It makes you do some math before allowing you hit 'Send'. Cant't do the math? You'll need to log off and return tomorrow.

2.Message Recall

Some office mail applications have this option but it only works if the message hasn't been read yet and if the recipient lets you recall it.

3.Facebook faux pas

And finally one for FB, Did your friend upload an unflattering photo of yours and ignore requests to delete it? Click on 'remove tag'. It will still be online but won't show up in your list.

4.No comments

If you made a comment on a public forum and there's no delete option, change your display name so it doesn't show up in search results for your real name.

5.Confidential chat

On Google chat, select "Go off the record" to prevent chats from being saved and reproduced.
