Default Facebook users beware new virus
Here's a great article by Mark Saltzman detailing the latest virus to attack Facebook. Be warned and be smart. http://www.sync-blog.com/sync/2008/0...ng-news-f.html

It's a shame that some people don't have anything else better to do.

That may explain why I never received a confirmation email when I tried to sign up for an account. Ah, well.

Wow..some people have way too much time on their hands (and hatred) to be so destructive! If they only spent that time on something good...they might be rich and successful. Here's hoping!

Ugghhh, thanks for the warning! I just don't understand why some people do what they do. Someone posted a bogus Amber Alert last week and it just sickens me http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/2009...ms-twitter.htm

I was, of course, one who posted it. Being that I have two small children seeing these makes me cringe and to find out it was fake made me sick.

So yes, Facebook, twitter, linkdin, whoever you use....remember they are extremly wonderful resources but use your judgement and just be careful because it is the sad truth that there are crazy people out there.

Ok, social media warning over LOL!
