Can You Relate to Any of These 7 Facebook Facts?

7/26/2014

Can you relate to any of the signs mentioned in the video or is someone that you know entranced by Facebook's hypnotic spell (eg: spouse)?

How many of them pertain to me? I can honestly answer, none. I haven't logged-in to my Facebook account since March 10, 2010.

Facebook is Selling Your Browsing History to Advertisers

7/23/2014

I logged out March 10, 2010.

Do you really want Facebook to share your browsing history with advertisers? I for one, do not wish to share anything with Facebook, nor do I feel compelled to use it.

If you want to learn how to stop them from selling your browsing information to advertisers, read Angela's article.

Given that Facebook recently announced they would listen in using microphones to find out what you’re listening to or watching on TV, and that they recently had a debacle when the public found out they’d been running psych experiments on their users. -Angela Alcorn

Be Mindful Of The Dangers Using Public Computers

When you're using a public computer at the library or a hotel, there are hidden dangers that you should be mindful of such as key-logging software. That type of malicious software can capture your sensitive log-in information without your knowledge.

I make it a point never to use public computers; I travel with a used laptop with a VPN installed.

I came across a good article entitled, "You Should Treat Public Computers Like Public Bathrooms". It shows you what to be mindful of if you have no choice but to use a public computer.

"When I was in college, the main campus library had several computers set up on the first floor for public use, and invariably, whenever I used one, a previous user had not logged out of her Gmail account. So when I tried to load my account, I would instead find myself staring at the entire contents of someone else’s inbox. Of course, I would then log that person out and sign myself in—but those brief moments when I had complete access to another person’s email were terrifying nonetheless. How could people be so careless with something as valuable as their email account?" -Josephine Wolff

Weird Al's Video Reminds Us To Use Words Correctly

7/16/2014

2 Comments

"Weird Al" Yankovic creativity shines through once again with his latest video, "Word Crimes", reminding us that it's not cool to misuse words online.

I thought of a few other words that he didn't mention in his video:

There, their and they're (they are).
Your and you're (you are).

There are times that I use abbreviations of words when typing on Twitter or sending texts since there are character limitations (140 and 160 respectively). However, I still use contractions correctly and the proper form of a word (eg: red or read).

Abbreviation Examples:

any1 = anyone | every1 = everyone
b = be
b4 = before
c = see
pls or plz = please
r = are
u = you | ur = your | u're = you're
2 = to | 2day = today | 2morro = tomorrow | 2B = to be
4 = for | 4ward = forward

When I write contracts for our business or content for our websites and blogs, I'm vigilant about making sure that the words are spelled correctly. In addition, I make sure that the proper use of grammar is followed to ensure that what I write 'reads' as I intend it to be.

Enjoy the video.
