C3 Richmond: Web + New Media Monday Short Report
Happy Monday at C3 Richmond, Copeland Casati Media!- FYI: Today they rolled out the next generation of Google Ad Manager: You might want to go over the new changes here: http://googleadmanager.blogspot.com/2010/02/next-generation-of-google-ad-manager.html?utm_source=gam_upgrade_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=gam%2Bupgrade
- Extreme Firefox vulnerability, hello: http://bit.ly/d0Js4p
- Do you use Facebook? PAY ATTENTION:
It all started when I noticed a client, who was not a "friend" of mine on Facebook, had joined a Fan Page I had just joined, caught my eye. "Awww...!" and I clicked on her profile to friend-request her. To my surprise, there were photos of her one year old daughter, with her daughter's name, their neighborhood information... concerned, I emailed her and she changed her privacy settings accordingly. Later that week, a friend's husband, who is not my Facebook friend, appeared on another event with me, and I did the same thing: clicked on his profile to friend request him, then, still not a friend, saw pictures of his daughter, her name, their easy-to-be-found unusual last names...!
Curious, I logged out of Facebook and spot-checked a few people I knew... and was BLOWN AWAY. Overwhelmingly their profiles revealed confidential information I am certain they would not want out in the ether. I encourage you all to log out and see what your and your family profiles, reveal. (I never have pictures of my children's faces or names on the internet. Guess what: I may be diligent but Grandma wasn't and needed to be corrected.)
Three settings everyone should know: http://www.nytimes.com/external/readwriteweb/2010/01/20/20readwriteweb-the-3-facebook-settings-every-user-should-c-29287.html?WT.mc_id=NYT-E-I-NYT-E-AT-0203-L18
