Saturday's Email of the Week: Snap Happy

Saturday's Email of the Week
Ok, I am going to be a little serious today. We are going into a long weekend and I know that many of you will be out and about with the family, quite possibly snapping a few pictures along the way. I know I certainly will be! Please watch this video before you head out today though. It will give you something to think about before you post any of those photos online.

I don't have a blackberry, smartphone or iphone of any sort, but this video is a little scary. While I don't have one, I can think of a whole bunch of other folks who do. I wouldn't doubt if some of you, my good readers have one as well. This video discusses the ability to track your location, via your phone. While you might think, "I know where I am!", what you don't want is every Tom, Dick and Scary Harry to know that though. This might be a little reactionary, but there are some questionable folks out there. So play safe and be aware of what you do with all the pictures that you take!

Happy Long Weekend everyone!

  3. @Brian: I know. I try not to have locations turned on in any of the platforms that I use. People that know me, know where I am, but other than that, it adds a little more protection.

    @PattiKen: This was sent to me via my Mom. Definitely worth watching & thinking about before you take any more pictures.
