I don't know if you are actively searching for insurance, or are currently an insurance agent but with the changes in technology...it won't be long that you will be effected by insurance's reach into social media.  So my words of warning to the wise...watch what info you put out on the major social media sites...make sure you really want to "Foursquare" yourself...etc.  Just stay sharp.
