Protect Your Online Identity

Last week in Facebook, I requested a former student‘s mom to be a friend. She redirected me instead to another FB account.

Why?

Because the account I first saw which I thought was her, was in fact, created by another person! Yes, the fraud was using her name and made friends with her real friends and relatives.

I got an FB account using my real name so that I could escape the dilemma she is going through. I signed up so that I could play Farm Town with my friends so that I am sure that it is I who is using my real name.

I have read in an online article (which I can’t find anymore because I did not bookmark it) about doing this, signing up using your real name when joining online sites including social networking sites, to be able to protect one’s online identity and reputation.

So there, if you have to sign up for things like this, use your real names otherwise, people with not-so-good intentions will use yours.

You would not want that, do you?

Tech Stores

While we were out looking for a good thumb drive gadget to buy, hubby and I had the luxury of time (kids were still on vacation then) to go to a lot of tech stores just browsing, discussing and doing some window shopping. That newly opened cyber zone wing of a nearby mall is quite impressive with the range of stores it offers.

I saw some things that I first thought were joysticks and I was surprised to learn that these are actually barcode scanners, like those Symbol LS2208 😀

Oh well, I surely hope that a wee netbook (or two) will find it’s way to our home soon. I am definitely keeping my fingers crossed and my arms in welcome gestures for those, lol!

Scrapblog

I tried digital scrapbooking over at Scrapblog and this is one of my creations:

I am starting to get hooked since the children are not here at the moment and I have much time on my hands.

I have also downloaded free stuff so that I can do some pieces even if I am not online 🙂
