How to Trace Pictures Back to Facebook Profile

Many people like to post Facebook pictures in different forums and websites.
Posting a picture hosted on Facebook is pretty much like posting a Facebook profile.
Pictures hosted in Facebook should be considered personal data.

Here is how you do it:

1) Every picture hosted on Facebook has a series of numbers like this:
 XXXXXXXX_XXXXXXXXX_XXXXXXXXX_XXXXXXXX_XXXXXXXXX_n.jpg

Copy the 3rd number, highlighted in red color.

2) Paste this number after the '=' sign    http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=XXXXXXXXX

3) Voila, you got the profile

Obviously, this won't work if the name of the picture has been changed.

Enjoy

Data Entry Jobs.... Real or Scam?

Are data entry jobs a scam? If you have been on the hunt for part-time online jobs, you might have encountered any one of the following ads:

'Earn money online by typing data from the comfort of your home. If you are a stay-at-home mom, student, or just somebody who wants to earn extra income, then this job is for you.'

'Want extra cash? Here's the job that you've always dreamed of. Join our growing company; get paid simply by typing data. It's as simple as that. No minimum requirement needed.'

This kind of online work seems to be the job that everyone wants to do today. Why, in the comfort of my very home I can work sitting all day and see my bank account flourish. I can do away with the heavy traffic, office politics, formal dress codes, and time cards. I can work anytime I want to and get sleep without worrying about waking and getting up early. I can do all those, imagine, just by typing data. No wonder more and more people get attracted by these job ads.

However fascinating its offers, I find the popularity of these so-called typing programs job quite intriguing. At the back of my mind I keep thinking, 'Are data entry jobs a scam?' So I decided to do a little research on my own and here is what I found out.

First, I noticed two things-things that seem to be the general trend in these types of companies:

1) Customer service is either too lousy you wish you could sabotage the person on the other end of the line or completely nonexistent, which is all the more frustrating.

2) Their websites boast of loaded promises and their ads are downright misleading.

I checked Clickbank's Marketplace because they have some of the more sought after data entry programs. Guess what I've found out? Instead of finding real data entry jobs, I found lots of e-Books showing and teaching you how to make money selling their products using Google AdWords. For a fee you get to register for any of the data entry program you want, receive a set of training materials on typing 'data entry ads', and talk other people into doing the same. But there's the rub, you pay for EVERY ad you up and make money ONLY when you manage to get a sale. Sounds like real data entry scams, right? This, my friend, is what you call Affiliate Marketing, Nothing there.

So to settle this issue once and for all, here's my take on the issue: Typing programs are not altogether scams. It's the advertising and selling of the company's products that make these jobs bad. After all, you did not apply to be a salesman, but rather a data entry associate. So if you really want to pursue this kind of job, find a legitimate program. I tell you there are more programs considered data entry scam than authentic ones but when you do find one, you are well off to the path you expected. Try looking at Webmaster forums. They have a good selection of data entry programs there.

Navigation: Creating smart and easy navigation for your website is the key aspect for making a website more mobile friendly. There can be many footer, header, and sidebar links. So more attention should be paid to few key areas of the website and acknowledge your visitor’s short attention spans. So the links that are not having high mobile priority destinations should be eliminated. Also adding or prioritizing specific mobile items should be considered.

Mobile Styling: You can never predict about what mobile devices your users are using so while styling your mobile website, it is necessary to stick to some relative units like percentages, etc as they can go a long way when it comes to make a long lasting quality mobile design. Maintaining a visual consistency with the desktop website is equally important as it will make your brand stronger.

Re-sizing of Images: There is no need to put desktop-sized, heavy images for the mobile users as small screens needs small images. Resizing the images on the web server is a nice strategy so as it takes less time to load. You can also make your optimized images link to the full, original image hosted elsewhere. It will be appreciated by visitors as by this they will be able to zoom the images.

Unbroken Links: Nowadays maximum traffic is generated by Google searches which mostly link to the desktop websites. This makes automatic device detection more important and crucial.

Clear Content: It is very necessary to grab reader attention instantly. This becomes little tricky when your site is viewed on smaller screen. It should be made sure that your site has a compelling headline which excites user that he/she is going to have a great experience reading this content. In order to make your site more easily readable on any mobile device keep all the content including your images centered. This will help your visitors to read and view your content without any problems of scrolling again and again.

So these are the major things which should be considered while making your website or blog more mobile-friendly.

Protect Your Privacy Online

Just one mistake and you probably might end up losing a lot of money, or maybe a subject of harassment. To prevent such misfortunes you must be aware of providing any vital information regarding your privacy. Here are some tricks that you can do to protect your privacy online:

1. Create a strong and secure password.

The more complicated the password, the better it is. A secure password which you need to create should ideally consist of upper case or lower case letters, numbers, spaces and other characters such as a hyphen, exclamation point or an underscore to make it tricky and difficult to crack. You have to use different passwords if you have various accounts or email addresses. As a backup measure, you need to note down your passwords as well as your accounts. This will come handy in the future in case you forget your passwords.

2. Do not use your main email address in public.

When sending messages or posting information to websites, chat rooms or other unknown groups where you may need to mention your email address, it is better to use an alternative email address. This is to protect you main email address from public viewing and avoid unscrupulous messages. Your main email address should be limited to those whom you know and trust.

3. Do not reveal your personal information to unknown or untrusted websites.

Personal information such as your full name, address, telephone numbers and credit card details should not be given easily. If a site requires you to provide your personal information you have the option not give it especially with untrusted websites.

4. Do not reply to spam messages.

Spam messages are sent to undisclosed recipients that can be you. Unsolicited messages are randomly sent and can be in a form of job offers, financial deals, discount offers and other enticing content which may ask some personal information about you. These messages are intriguing and tempting. If you open these messages expect more spam messages to flood your inbox. Make sure to activate your spam settings.

5. Limit your personal information when signing in to new accounts or websites.

If you sign or register for a new online account or service with websites, just fill in the necessary required fields which are oftentimes indicated with asterisks (*). You need not fill in the rest if you opt not to.

6. Create a pseudonym for online accounts or alternate email addresses.

For your security and privacy, you can use a pseudonym instead of your real name for online accounts or alternate email addresses. Make sure to note this down so you would not forget.

7. Make your security question available for your eyes only.

Aside from your password, the next level for your privacy protection is your security question. If you answer a question, do not make it simple; make sure it is difficult to figure out.

8. Be cautious of website promo, prize and money offers.

So-called offers are empty promises: they say that with just one click, you are guaranteed of their special offer. Before you click and accept, however, you must think that this is just to entice you. Websites who do this have hidden agendas. You can either ignore it or you can use an alternate email address to check it out.
