Beware of Stalking: LinkedIn Still Needs to Strengthen Privacy Mechanisms

posted on 20 November 2011

There is a proliferation of social networking tools on the web, and a number of them are a better fit to connect you to your colleagues. One of the main motivations for this website appears to be that people looking for job opportunities usually best find them via their personal contacts it is in my experience, however, that if there is ever such an opportunity, the contact would be more likely to use a more personal medium rather than LinkedIn. The website appears to strive for a professional atmosphere, but that is in marked contrast to what a personal recommendation is often about: being personal. I believe that the lack of activity I have experienced in five years of being a member on this website is due to this fundamental oversight by the creators of LinkedIn. What this website does instead, then, is simply collect your personal career information and put it up on display for the world to see. Some say you can use it to find othe companies for your own uses e.g. if you wanted a creative design agency, then you could find one on this platform. That's a fair point. However, although the website allows users to disable search engines from displaying your LinkedIn page in their search results, no privacy mechanisms are available for users who want to protect themselves from other LinkedIn users. (Because LinkedIn is available to the entire public to sign up, your information is still at the mercy of anyone who decides to join the website.) In light of this, I have deleted my account with LinkedIn. As an aside, I should further note that others are able to make pages for you and put up your personal information without your consent on this website. This is the case with my mother: her superiors decided to jump onto the LinkedIn wagon, so they created a page for her (without her consent) listing her full name, location and position within the company. She is unable to take the page down, nor is she able to locate who is responsible for putting up her information. This is definitely an invasion of privacy, and LinkedIn appears to have very few mechanisms available to ensure individuals' peace of mind.

The other day when we had to check the financial breakthrough that our company had experienced, we had to do some research from books that had been published long before that assisted us in making progress, and so there had to be the incorporation of the isbn book search uk service, which I had always seen but never used before. I have been given that responsibility and so to date whether I am interested or not I have to find out what can be done to ensure that I have the necessary information about isbn so that it can assist me to locate the financial books that are needed which were published close to ten years ago. I know that I cannot miss such information online but would love to get a booklet with all the information so that it will be easier for me.

Associating oneself with successful people motivates success

posted on 30 April 2011

I came to notice one thing about people, when you associate yourself with people who are successful then be rest assured that success will come your way. This is because there is that motivation to work harder and get more and if you have someone close to you who is as hardworking as you are, then you motivate each other to achieve even more. This is how my parents made their fortune and that is why everyone I date has to be as successful as I am. This is because they actually know how much it takes to achieve that. The reason why celebrities who marry each other do well in their various areas is because they are both successful and they motivate each other to get even more in life. kendra wilkinson a popular celebrity mostly known for the reality show 'The Girl Next Door' got married to a popular American footballer called Hank Baskett. These two celebrities could be on different fields but they both are successful and that is motivation in itself.

You Go to Logon to Face but Then It Doesn't Work

posted on 1 December 2010

Say you just got home from work and you are looking forward to logging in to Facebook and see what's going on with your other family and friends. You get a blank page with facebook not working today which means that Facebook could be under going maintenance or they found a problem with their programming and are in the process of fixing it. A lot of sites will start doing maintenance very early in the morning while people are supposed to be asleep but then again there might become a problem and they have to take it down and do maintenance on the site right then. There could also be a problem with the server being down or a problem with the Internet itself so if you get a error that the page will not load the naked baby a problem with Facebook or their server. Don't get excited just go back and try later and hopefully they will have it fixed so you can log on and see what's going on with all your friends and family.

Do you have a facebook account? This is one of the most common questions that we can hear among the youth. Facebook has indeed become a very common social networking site that includes almost people disregarding the age and race. Although some people may think that the facebook profile is very plain, some people still exert some effort in making it interesting as much as possible. There is what people call facebook edit pages option. In this option, people are able to change the simple lay-out of the boxes that can be seen in their profiles. Editing pages, for some, are fun to do. Editing pages may include changing your information like your username, the contents on your wall, the posts and the lay-out of the thumbnails of the pictures of the friends.To make it more interesting, other people include applications like the fortune cookie, horoscope readings and even share videos from other pages through another website.

Wine Gifts for Men

posted on 20 November 2010

My boyfriend is hunting for the best wine gifts for men in anticipation of the coming Holiday season. His friends are mostly fond of throwing parties and having celebrations outdoors and he thinks this is the best present that suits them. I advised him a number of things before purchasing this item. I reminded him to carefully assess the product before paying for it. He is sometimes an impulsive buyer and I do not think this can help in his search for both lasting and well-designed wine gifts. I suggested him to look for wine bottle holders and carry out a research on this using his access to the web. I have already tried acquiring wines and wine holders from cyber shops and I can say that I made the right choices. Hopefully, he will consider all the pointers I have given him. Looking for wine gifts for men is quite challenging but I hope he gets to endure this challenge accordingly.

Unsinkable Molly Brown received many accolades during the famous Titanic disaster. “Unsinkable Molly Brown” was one of the members of the RMS Titanic first class passenger list. Molly Brown was a boastfully ambitious, loud spoken woman, who made her mark in Titanic history for persuading the commander of lifeboat number 6 to turn around and save some people who were stranded in the water. Molly Brown was great friends with the Astor family, who were the richest couple on the RMS Titanic first class passenger list. She often vacationed with them in Egypt and was returning home to America after hearing her grandson was sick. Molly Brown’s decision to purchase a ticket home was a last minute decision, but it was one which would change her life forever. After purchasing a ticket which placed her on the RMS Titanic first class passenger list, Molly would go on to shine even in dismay. Her courage to stand up to the lifeboat’s commander makes her one of the Titanic’s most talked about women.


Bought A Macbook For My Boss In Singapore

posted on 31 October 2010

When I went to Singapore a couple of months back my former boss asked me to look into the price range for laptops. She said that she has heard about how much cheaper gadgets are in Singapore compared to the prices in the city. This boss of mine is a certified Apple fan so she asked me to check out how much an Apple Macbook Pro 13 inch would cost. By the time I got there and checked out the price I told her and she asked if I could buy one for her. She told me she would pay me the moment I get back and true to her word she paid me the moment I got back. After two days of tinkering with her macbook I saw her post a status on facebook asking &ldquohow to connect ichat to facebook?&rdquo. There were several replies to this post but they were merely congratulating her on getting a macbook and there was no useful information in response to her question. Hopefully she would get the answers from the web.
