60% of web surfing is done via a mobile device

Do you have an iPad, Android tablet, or netbook?  Are you glued to your iPhone, Android device, or Blackberry?

Web Watch is going to take a wild guess that you’re not just using those devices for making phone calls or using them exclusively for business.

When it comes to your privacy, Facebook stinks

By now, you’ve probably gotten used to all the privacy warnings about Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and other social media and online sites.

You’ve certainly heard all the news, even if you haven’t taken the time to actually do anything about it in your own life.

And maybe that’s okay.  Maybe it all depends on your personal philosophy about what people can do with your personal information.  They say that kids today don’t care as much about keeping things to themselves as their parents did at that same age.

Of course, all that openess could come back to bite those youngsters when they go out to find their first job — but that’s at least 10 years from now, right?

Everything your date knows about you, he learned from your dog

They say that the best way to meet someone is to take your dog for a walk at the park.

Or borrow a friend’s dog, and take the dog for a walk at the park.

Or hang out at the Humane Society, taking the puppies out for a walk at the park.

(See the trend here, folks?)

The secret – obviously – is to get a dog, and let that be your way to introduce yourself to the ladies or the guys.  Who can resist puppies?

TIL that you are who you hang out with

Web Watch has two questions for you today:

  • How many close, personal friends do you have in your Real Life?
  • How many close, personal friends do you have online?

The qualifier portion of these questions are really that “close” and “personal” portion.  Everybody has dozens of acquaintances, people you know peripherally.

Friends of friends.

Spouses of friends.

Folks you see at the bar / soccer field / diner on a regular basis, enough to wave or say “hi” to, but not necessarily people you’d invite over for a bottle of wine.

Would they qualify as “close, personal” friends?

How to take over Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World

You’ve been there.

The yelling, the screaming kids.  The crowds.  The pushing and shoving.

Going to Walt Disney World can seem, to some, to be a form of modern-day warfare, with every tourist working hard to achieve the ultimate prize of a Relaxing Family Vacation (five days of fun crammed into three)!

You’ve felt like you were going to snap, didn’t you?

Oh yeah, and did we mention that they were dressed as their favorite SEXY DISNEY PRINCESS?

Thought we’d point that out.

When should you stop wearing your wedding ring?

Quick poll:  how many Web Watch readers are currently divorced?

We’d go with an average and say that at least 25% of you are… but we figure that may be a bit high of an estimate.

Even so, it wouldn’t surprise us if that were the case.  There do seem to be a large number of divorced people in this world, but they all seem to have the same question in their minds:
