What Happens in Vegas ... STAYS on the WEB….

Be Careful! What Happens in Vegas ... STAYS on the WEB….

ALL THAT WE UPLOAD TO THE INTERNET, CAN BE PUBLIC

Have you ever read the long lists of Privacy Policy and Internet companies when they enlist an email account with them, or when they discharged Facebook?,
IMPORTANT!!!! BE AWARE OF!! BE CAREFULL!! WHATCH OUT!!

Everything WE UPLOAD to the Internet, STAYS ON THE INTERNET, IT CAN BE PUBLIC….
Although it is a fact that can be “lost” on the web somewhere BUT, when you don´t expect it, it might “appear” around and all can see it!!!!!
It´s easy, just search yourself, family or friends in engines like Google (Google you), Bing or Yahoo! and you´ll see the results.

So I suggest you think through what will appear, especially when it comes to photos, videos, or confidential or privileged information, as I said in my presentation, "What happened in Vegas ... stays on the web.!!!".
So very careful with the people you give permission to see their photos, friends of friends, and worse unknown to his friends. They may be misusing or just use of their images and content.

Today, Facebook, and social networks generally offer locks and security tools that many of you know or not know how to use, I suggest you keep an eye on your friends list, enter the security options they have in their account, and also invite you to carefully review the information that we get into this blog to be sure they are safe.

Indexing

So, have you heard of the phrase “Google has indexed” me? When “stuff” appears in Search Engines such as Google, Bing or Yahoo! It´s something often referred to, Google has indexed me… and it hardly “disappears” from the web.

Can I remove my own content from Google?

Yes, you can make “indexed stuff” disappear from the web… this is a termed called, “delist” ore “remove indexed content” or whatever is listed. All you have to do, for example, in Google. Go to http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=156412&cbid=-1i622ak0jr09g&src=cb&lev=index and you will find all you need to know…

Therefore to conclude and give you some tips.

1. Think twice next time you upload stuff to the web
2. Unless, you do it safely getting to know and using the security settings of the sites you upload information to. (Facebook, Twitter, Live, etc)
3. Teach others how to….
4. Share this blog and article.
5. Start NOW

Hope this was usefull.

Social Media has done it, what are you thinking about?

Article for Parents….. Today much is known about social networks, they arrived without warning and grew before we could understand how they work, but guess what, we are all already sharing information, photos, and videos, without thinking far as they have gone. This article will try to explain in general terms, how they work, and far reaching if we decide we belong to them.

HOW ALL STARTED?
Currently there are several Internet networks that allow us to share information, to reconnect with old friends, and the best known are HI5, My Space, Twitter, and of course FACEBOOK.

We received an invitation from one of our friends, and acquaintances by e-mail, asking us where we enrolled Facebook, and as fast as a link away, we filled our data, we accept the terms and conditions of the company, (which of course I never read) and create an account, from that moment, and we're already enjoying the "gossipy" world's largest, with over 300 million active users. Suddenly we realize that almost all our friends and acquaintances are already there, ask them to let us add to our account and then begin to understand how it all begins ...

What are you thinking about?

At first few were those who filled the blank: "What are you thinking? "Where it is sometimes very funny or clever to express what you are thinking, or read what others are thinking, some have used it as a space for reflection and many like an open book literally expose what they are doing at the time, or just what happens to me at the time they are connected.

He became so popular and entertaining to read what each who he wants to write, that a new social network called Twitter did not hesitate to use that resource, to create another business model, based on what each person is thinking, believing or doing, but that's another story ...

And who are thinking about kids today actually, to enlist in their lists of friends and people they scarcely know or worse yet people who believe they know, or want to know this through Facebook.
Guys, Facebook works great if they give up for two separate lists of their close friends and acquaintances, NEVER a stranger or someone they are not sure whether that person actually.

HOW?

The first thing to watch is to separate their lists of friends and acquaintances, making sure his "friends" are only those with access to everything they write, up and “tag" you.

If not yet done so, NOW is a good day, I recommend you read the list to prepare them with the details of how to make these changes, step by step.

Also be careful with fall applications of third parties (not Facebook) and give permission to enter their accounts, I mean the fortune cookies at Farmville, and all the games, trivia, polls and accessories to them seeking permission ... eye! They are NOT FACEBOOK and are reading them like a friend more. FACEBOOK Certainly explains in its security tools that neither they nor anyone else can see who goes in or how many times your account, do not authorize anyone to perform that action and that is not true!

Social Media is here to stay, so.. learn more about it. I will be writing more about this topic.
thanks
