The Conversation

1. What do you think this pictures says about you?

2. Do you know all (number of friends) of your ‘friends’?

3. Can you trust everyone on your ‘friends’ list not to download that picture?

4. What does that update say about you as a person?

5. Is that who you want to be known as?
