10 Social Networking Safety Tips from Microsoft

microsoft logo 10 Social Networking Safety Tips from Microsoft

As Social Networking website including MySpace, Facebook, Orkut, Twitter,Windows Live Spaces and there are a lot of other services used by people to connect and share their personal information with other including photos, video and other type of information. People also use social networking websites to make new friends and expand their network of friends. As more and more people are using social networking websites for sharing their information with others, Hackers, spammers, virus writers, identity thieves, and other criminals see this as an easy medium to do their activities. Microsoft is committed to help it’s users to protect their data and in this series they have publishes 10 social networking safety tips on their website.

  1. Use caution when you click links that you receive in messages from your friends on your social Web site. Treat links in messages on these sites as you would links in e-mail messages. (For more information, see Approach links in e-mail with caution.)
  2. Don’t trust that a message is really from who it says it’s from. Hackers can break into accounts and send messages that look like they’re from your friends, but aren’t. If you suspect that a message is fraudulent, use an alternate method to contact your friend to find out. This includes invitations to join new social networks.
  3. To avoid giving away e-mail addresses of your friends, do not allow social networking services to scan your e-mail address book. When you join a new social network, you might receive an offer to enter your e-mail address and password to find out who else is on the network. The site might use this information to send e-mail messages to everyone in your contact list or even everyone you’ve ever sent an e-mail message to with that e-mail address. Social networking sites should explain that they’re going to do this, but some do not.
  4. Type the address of your social networking site directly into your browser or use your personal bookmarks. If you click a link to your site through e-mail or another Web site, you might be entering your account name and password into a fake site where your personal information could be stolen.
  5. Be selective about who you accept as a friend on a social network. Identity thieves might create fake profiles in order to get information from you. This is known as social engineering.
  6. Choose your social network carefully. Evaluate the site that you plan to use and make sure you understand the privacy policy. Find out if the site monitors content that people post. You will be providing personal information to this Web site, so use the same criteria that you would to select a site where you enter your credit card.
  7. Assume what you write on a social networking site is permanent. Even if you can delete your account, anyone on the Internet can easily print the information or save it to a computer.
  8. Be careful about installing extras on your site. Many social networking sites allow you to download third-party applications that let you do more with your personal page. Criminals sometimes use these applications in order to steal your personal information. To download and use third-party applications safely, take the same safety precautions that you take with any other program or file you download from the Web. For more information, see Before you download files, help protect your computer.
  9. Think twice before you use social networking sites at work. For more information, see Be careful with social networking sites, especially at work.
  10. Talk to your kids about social networking. If you’re a parent of children who use social networking sites, see How to help your kids use social Web sites more safely.

A Good Web Hosting Directory Can Help you to find a Good Web Hosting

A Good Web Hosting Directory Can Help you to find a Good Web Hosting Sometimes finding a good Website hosting provider becomes a very difficult task because when you search over the Internet you will find a good number of websites comes and show that they can host your website but you never know which web hosts are good and which are bad. I think instead of directly searching the web hosting provider company we first have to check with some authenticate web hosting rating company because this gives a fair amount of idea which web hosting providers are good or bad.I find it’s really a time saving task if you find a good web hosting rating provider because it gives you in depth analysis of several web hosting providers, some of them might offer web hosting tutorials and many other options. Web hosting tutorials are really good for new web masters. Now comes  to some other issues also often we search for cheap web hosting or with any other key words what they basically mean is really important. So for most of web hosting search key words I find that webhostingrating’s article section is really good.

As searching over their web site I find this Website is really good although they are building the web hosting providers directory. They are also having one web hosting awards section there they give awards according to following categories

Overall the site looks good but I would like to suggest them only include those menu items that have some content instead of just trying to making a long menu list.
