1. Protect your Privacy
In my opinion it is helpful to use different providers for all the things that people want to share on the internet. But it is important to keep track of what service belongs to which bigger company. But in the end, if anybody really wants to get information about you, they will.
2. Xing or LinkedIn
I have a Xing profile, but am not investing time into it at the moment. I think I will do so after finishing college and want to find a job that fits my career plans.
3. Yasni and 123people
I never notices Yasni but 123people always shows up.
4. Social Engineering
Phishing is the key word. I want to tell about a case of phishing that almost happened to me by my own e-mail provider Freenet. A few months ago I got a mail apparently from Freenet telling me, that my account will be deleted if I don't stop it. Fortunately I ignored that mail, I got similar mails every day for a period of about 4 days. Always saying that my account will be deleted and I had to click on the link provided in the mail and validate my login data.
I am really relieved that I ignored the mails, about 2 days after the last phishing mail I received a real mail from Freenet confirming that those mails I and lots of other users received were phishing mails, using Freenet to get information about their users.
Nice spam mails ha?.. I only receive spam of mr. chan, how has the money of a rich person, who has died.. sad sad mr. chan.. every day he has to get rid of all this money!
