BWB2012: Just Chocolates supports "Think before you click"

Just Chocolates invaded Davao Bloggers' 1st Blog Weekend Bootcamp held in Malagos Garden Resort. This 3-day live-in conference connects bloggers of different field and we got to learn topics on photo blogging, video blogging, blogging ethics, niche blogging, creative writing, and so much more.

We were divided into groups which comprises of beginner and experienced bloggers. We were tasked to help beginners create their blogs. Fortunately for our group, all of us already have blogs from diverse fields.

For our next task, we were to give our opinions on "Think before you click". A campaign about responsible use of social media. We made a video about it and you can watch it below.

Being a part of the blogosphere, you are responsible for what you say, what you do, and what you click in the Internet. You must be cautious on what you post online. Before clicking the publish button, you have to think if you are going to offend anyone with your status, tweet, or your article.

When browsing the web, you should be careful of what sites and links that you open as well as forms that you fill up. It can be possible that your information can be hijacked and used without your knowledge or, worse, in a crime.

It is possible to avoid this by looking at the URL and check if it contains suspicious codes. You can also try copying the URL and open it manually in the browser to avoid highjacking your click.

Also, try to avoid giving too much information like location which criminals can use to monitor you and give them an opportunity to rob you. Think twice before checking in in a place, making sure that  it is public and safe.

With this, Just Chocolates fully support the "Think before you click" campaign. Watch the video that our group (Thinkers and Clickers) made in the bootcamp. Enjoy!
