Getting “Londoned” – losing your email account
This is the collation of last week’s interesting APWG mailthread on getting “Londoned”, when your GMail/Facebook/… account is compromised and all your contacts get a message like:
Hello! I’m sorry I didn’t inform you about my traveling… am presently in London, United Kingdom on short vacation and as i write to you now.. its unbelievable am stuck here,got...

Social paraSites
We already had online viruses and worms, now we got paraSites too.
The word ‘parasite’ comes from the Greek ‘parasitos’ (but then in Greek) which means ‘person who eats at the table of another’. In general we use parasite to refer to “an animal or plant that lives in or on a host; it obtains nourishment from the host without benefiting or killing the host”. I...

A Twitter social support system
Just the other week I experienced two occurrences where Twitter was used by business for product support, which I’d like to share, for those who still doubt the power of social media. These are web businesses (UserVoice and Google) but that shouldn’t make any difference. Any business should monitor the Internet for their brand and reputation. I wasn’t necessarily looking for...
The Power Of Social(ized) Search
We are on a the road to a major conversion of different technologies, a merger of disparate data points into a singular intelligence previously unknown (yeah, sounds preposterous, I know). And Google is (yet again) right in the middle of it. I won’t be fear mongering about a Skynet entity, or any of the privacy issues related to this. It is the nature of progress that technology disrupts...

Reputation as a Service →
I don’t remember who it was they were quoting yesterday morning at Sun’s Let’s Talk breakfast presentation on Cloud computing, but Facebook being defined as “Friendship as a Service” kinda made sense.
In which case LinkedIn would be “Reputation as a Service”, I guess, and as Reputation Management as a business slowly starts to take off (as a...

Tackling Social Poverty - Blog Action Day
Poverty manifests itself through different guises. When we think of poverty, we’d immediately recall a homeless person or a malnourished African child, a reflection of economical poverty. Social poverty is the result of lack of social capital. As per J.D. Lewandowski, “the concept of social capital refers to the networks of social trust and social connections that serve to enable...

Reality Mining
Technology Review has a special report on 10 emerging technologies for 2008. One is Offline Web Applications, which I’m not going to talk about, it’s kind of obvious (Air, Gears, etc). Others are very “out there” (“Connectomics”, “NanoRadio”, “Probabilistic Chips” anyone…?). Another one though is pretty real: “Reality...

Passwords
Before you start building out your online presence, think for a moment about the use of your passwords. That’s plural. You do use multiple passwords, right? Oh, you don’t? Too hard to remember, is it? Let me guess, is it “password”?
But seriously, you need a decent password policy. Think of the different web applications you encounter online. Internet banking, email,...

Why should you care?
The Internet has become part of every day life, on every level of life. Government, banking, employment, shopping, social interaction,… Looking for a new job? You would probably set up a CV online, and look for potential employers on job sites. But the other way round, an employer might very well look up any potential employees too. Again, on job sites for CV’s, but whenever an employer...

Get offline
Still reading this blog? Great! Again, if you don’t want your name online, then don’t do anything online. Be passive. Just read. Don’t interact. Sure, you can do your banking online. Your bank doesn’t spill the beans on you online. But be sure not to get caught in a phishing trap (or hook rather) when reading your email. “A what?” And you may not be online, but your employer may be, and your...

Social networking?
This is a blog about how to create a web presence, manage your online reputation, “fabulize” your online life. Intimidated by big words like “user-generated content”, “microblogging”, “social networks”,…? Concerned about your privacy? You should! This blog is about putting out what you want to be out, while keeping privacy and online security in mind.
Where does it start? Do a vanity search....
