Happy New Year to everyone! We hope 2011 is a great year for you ahead!
This past week saw a lot of reflection on the top stories of 2010, and the social media gurus made their predictions for what may be in store for 2011. One thing they all agree on is that Facebook and other social networking sites will continue to be a top target for scammers, spammers and other malicious activity. Make sure your computer is protected, and verify that you have tightened up your privacy settings on any social sites you frequent. A member of the Facecrooks Community had a great suggestion this morning. Even if you have edited your profile settings for maximum privacy, be sure to revisit them often to make sure they have not been reset to their default values.
