My approach is that anything I post on the Internet is as private as if I posted it on the front page of London Times or Chicago Tribune in 72 point font.

Let’s not forget that the basic purpose of social networks, such as MySpace or Facebook, is to disseminate facts about their users. Privacy/security is anathema to social networks.

Absolutely! In fact, that’s a big part of what I was trying to convey throughout the entire article.

Those would be much better alternatives. Or at least encrypt the folder that they are in on your computer, but encrypting the files themselves, like you said, would be even better.

I was thinking of microsoft word or openoffice word in terms of word document especially one that has a password function or possibly encrypt the passages.

Yes you correct, but most of users do not aware of this, all they know is surfing, giving information which actually they don’t need to give. Most of the victim is a teenager and children, who have a high willing to know and they don’t realize that the information they give is misused by other people.

Sending you calls or emails telling that you won lottery or what ever and all you have to do is just to send lawyer fees usually from 1000 us dollars to 10 grands :) people now are aware of this thanks to sites like Make use of . . .

Hmm. Are you sure that you kept your phone number visible only to friends? Could it have been a coincidence that the two simultaneously occurred, but were unrelated?

Aaron,

You like exotics? Any exotic in particular? I did herp rescue for years, and had as many as eleven snakes at one time. I came home from the grocery store one afternoon to find a lidded tupperware bowl in front of my door. When I opened it there was a 22″ iguana in it with a note that said, “Please find me a good home.” Found her a home with someone who adores her within 20 minutes LOL.
