They say that everything that you post on the Internet becomes part of the public record, and could affect you down the road if a potential employer decides to do a little social media digging to see whether you really would be a good employee or not.
Sure, some things could be attributed to a little venting in your status updates, but there’s also the possibility of trends emerging that you may not see unless you’re looking at your profile with a fresh set of eyes.

How many of you can say that you’re friends with a mortician?
Every circle of friends has a car guy, a computer guy, a music guy, a sports guy. Why not a death guy?
Besides, you almost need one of those around just to answer all the creepy questions that everyone inevitably has. When was the last time that you spoke to a funeral director when death wasn’t on the line?

Web Watch has mentioned Matt Harding before – he’s the guy who struck upon the absolutely perfect “job”, if you want to call it that, of traveling around the world and dancing.
And not just good dancing.
We’re talking really bad dancing.
And he’s been able to turn this hobby into a paying career of travel, music, Internet viral videos, and just bringing a little bit of joy and happiness to everyone he meets.
It’s a world-trotting flash mob.

Steven Corona is the Chief Tech Officer at Twitpic, according to his website.
So you would think that someone who is that involved with social media — such as the relationship between Twitter and Twitpic, that going even one hour without using any form of social media would be akin to telling a race car driver that he can only walk to work.
So can you do what Steven decided to do? Can you give up all forms of social media for thirty days?

Over the past few years, Web Watch has covered all sorts of information about what makes a pop song a hit.
We’ve talked about how you ONLY NEED FOUR CHORDS TO WRITE THE PERFECT POP SONG, how the KEY OF A SONG CAN PREDICT ITS POPULARITY, that MOST POP SONGS ARE ABOUT SEX, and even what the PERFECT SONG LENGTH should be for a hit song.
But now we have some science to thank for proving that everything Web Watch has told you in the past is absolutely true. See? It pays to read Web Watch and be on the cutting edge of everything!
You’re one of those old people, aren’t you?
Always living in the past, telling those young punks of today how easy they have it now. You begin every sentence with, “oh yeah, well back in MY day, we didn’t have the Internet. And we LIKED it!”
So time marches on – it happens.
We can all agree that all sorts of things have changed over the past 50 years for sure, but even more so in the last 5-10 years.

Web Watch has covered password hacks like the recent ones at LinkedIn, eHarmony, Last.fm, and others.
We’ll start with the standard recommendation: if you’ve been using one of those sites Web Watch just mentioned, please go and change your password immediately. It’s okay… we’ll wait.
And you’re back…
As a reminder, some of the password suggestions we’ve made in the past can be found here:
and there are others.
So since we’ve already talked about the things that you should do to change your password and how to make a nice strong password, the next question to ask is whether the password you’ve selected is actually strong and unique enough to avoid being hacked.
