Have We Become too Addicted to Social Media and Electronic Communication?

Hey All, I've been thinking about this for the past few days now. Have we really become too addicted to social media and just electronic communication in general? Personally, this humble writer thinks so. It seems that we cannot live without having to devote time to social media anymore, whether it be YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, or MySpace. It seems to have become hard wired to us. One big question is though, is this a good or bad thing, or both? In a way this is not surprising. Humans by natur… Continue

A Huge Social Media Network Blog You Want To Be Involved In

I would write about the post I did over on my blog at http://blog.bluepop13.com but that's not possible this time.

Anyway... I think my blog says it all and could say much more because locker… Continue

Robert Siciliano Identity Theft Expert

Identity is a simple concept that has become a complex problem. It has become complex due to fraud. Fraud, motivated by money and the ease of obtaining credit and taking over an account. Because identity has yet to be effectively established, anyone can be you.

Currently, identity is generally established when a person p

How You Use Social Media Says A Lot About You and Your Brand

Social Media is the way to be these days for businesses, individuals and even hackers. It's talked about at the dinner table, seen on the news and even referenced on some of our favorite TV shows. The only problem is that about 50% of people and businesses are using it wrong! Now who am I to really say that anyone is doing anything wrong? I mean I am just Kim Randall, I'm not a Gary Vaynerchuk or a Chris Brogan. The thing is that I may not be a household name, may have never been on national te… Continue

Follow Friday on The Way Out?

For a while now Follow Friday has been a good way for people to recommend great people to follow on twitter. As a geek I use twitter for sharing information, and interest. One of the people I follow made the statement to me that "more followers isn't better, better followers is more". What I mean by better followers is that none of this spam crap, not someone who spews out senseless nonsense. I’ve used Follow Friday since June I believe, but with the introduction of Twitter Lists Follow F… Continue

10 Ways to Prevent Social Media Scams

Robert Siciliano Identity Theft Expert

For the past year, I’ve been screaming about the trouble with social media as it relates to identity theft, brand hijacking, privacy issues, and the opportunity social media creates for criminals to “friend” their potential victims in order to create a false sense of trust and use that against their victims in phishing or other scams.

What's Your Favorite Type of Music?

Music can be an important part of someone’s life, it can even set moods. For me I’m more open minded when it comes to music. I listen to variety instead of just one Genre. I used to listen to hip hop and R&B but now I listen to alternative, metal, new age, stuff like that. My favorite group now a days is Paramore, and I love the gothic sounds of Nox Arcana, Dark Sanctuary, Dargaard, and many more. I have a lot of imagination, and when these songs play I get lost in my own little world. Espe… Continue
