Your privacy has been a hot topic lately.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, has decided to allow software developers access to your click-through patterns in order to track interests, and ultimately spending trends.

It’s called data-mining and it’s big business.

Mr. Z stands to make a lot of money by creating statistics out of your clicks.

Personally, I’m okay with that. I really am.

I understand that by participating online, I am revealing information about myself that can be viewed by marketers, hackers, ex-boyfriends (the entire world) to see.

I participate online knowing that what I put out there can and will be held against me in the court of opinion and statistics; that advertisers will harvest my email and personal stats so they could send me unsolicited offers.

In this day and age, a digital trail is hard to avoid.

With that said, we all want to be safe.

Take a look at http://www.reclaimprivacy.org/. This free software will review your current Facebook settings and will make suggestions on what you need to change to be as safe as possible.

Thanks to all of you who were able to attend my call yesterday with Ron Hudson, of Immediate Influence Blog.

We discussed my new 15 MINUTES-A-DAY MAINTENANCE FORMULA for Facebook and Twitter.

Click here to download.

Here’s the replay information.

Simply click on the widget for Video Recording and Transcripts.

If you’re viewing this blog post as a NOTE on Facebook, you’ll need to click through to my actual blog to view the widget.

The good news is that the links work.

The bad news is that I forgot to record the phone call.

Yep, you heard me right.

I remembered to hit the video RECORD, but not the audio RECORD. Darn it!

You should still check out the cool and nifty widget from DimDim.

If you attended the call, I would love to hear your thoughts on the entire process.

Again, thanks so much for your interest.

This has been a wonderful learning experience for me and I am grateful for the opportunity.

If you like the idea of using symbols in your posts (and you have a PC), take a peek at this link and it’ll show you how to use ALT codes: http://su.pr/1zr2yI.

If you’re a Mac user, you can still use these symbols, you’ll just have to copy and paste them, instead of using keyboard commands.

To obtain an ALT Character:
1. Make certain that the Num Lock key has been pressed to activate the numeric key section of the keyboard.
2. Depress the Alt key.
3. While the Alt key is depressed, type the proper sequence of numbers (on the numeric keypad) of the ALT code from the table above.
4. Release the ALT key and the character will appear.

Voilà!

If your keyboard doesn’t have NUM LOCK on the keypad, check out this link for a possible solution: http://bit.ly/1vSFIy.
