Staying Safe with Social Media – free webinar now online by Thomas MacEntee

Geoff Rasmussen

22 Jun 2012

"I wish everyone had to watch this seminar to be on social media!" is how Donna, one of our viewers today responded to Thomas MacEntee's webinar, Staying Safe with Social Media. I completely agree. Thomas covered topics such as:

Is your birth date public?
Ways you can stay safe
Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, Namechk, and more
Do you really know your friend's friends?
What you should avoid online
Should you click on the links in an email to accept a friend request?
What about copyright?
10 rules for creating a hacker-resistant password
And more

The Q/A session was just as good. After Thomas demonstrated his password-creation methods, one viewer wrote, "that's the best trick I've seen in a long time."
