A friend from university, who has since gone to the dark side, contacted me through that email info and I fell for it. He used to be one of my best friends at university, but as the Alumnae Office told me, there are plenty of my colleagues from my otherwise illustrious alma mater who are now in jail, etc. Indeed, they contacted him and he shrugged off the attempt. I have since removed all About Me details and have removed the Contact Me button. The nightmare, though, continues. It has become a full-time job to head off the identity and financial threat.Judith Mercadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739476600999112092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-72695816503737791382012-10-16T14:19:58.957+01:002012-10-16T14:19:58.957+01:00I didn't know about this satirical stunt, but ...I didn't know about this satirical stunt, but I think it a brilliant one. I must confess that I use no other social network than Blogger. I have not yet been snared by either Facebook or twitter, but I see the day dawning... if only to keep up with my grandsons and see what they are up to.

It was general seating, so we had to get there early to ensure a good seat. We talked some, but all three of us spent most of our time on our smartphones.

I'm still not on it and that's out of concerted effort on my part. Even being on blogger seems like a betrayal of my beliefs, what with Google turning into the evil corporation it always professed to shun. When I get my own website up and running I'll move my blog there but for now I'm stuck with blogger.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-53640497515532128032012-10-14T13:13:57.789+01:002012-10-14T13:13:57.789+01:00I find the differences between online and offline ...I find the differences between online and offline interactions quite fascinating.

Big brother is getting ever closer and we're complicit in allowing his control over us (and our own emotional and intellectual infantalisation) by our dependence on FB & other social media. The attraction is that these do have their uses - it's a wonderful way to keep in touch with my overseas family - but it's all to easy for that attraction to become an obsession (or an addiction!)<br /><br /><a href="http://judycroome.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Judy, Johannesburg, South Africa</a> Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165773290907101242.post-75780617359670555642012-10-14T12:34:21.233+01:002012-10-14T12:34:21.233+01:00Wonderful post!

Social Networks are transforming our lives. <br />Although it's all about marketing, many people find the opportunity to make friends and socialize. Things they aren't able to do in real life. That's one of the positive sides of social networks.<br />I'll have look at that Tv programm you're talking about. I think I'm going like it.<br /> Maggie<br />L.Quint<br />http://amar-con-sentimiento.blogspot.com.es/Lumy Quinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09972377930343361610noreply@blogger.com
