Social Networking and Spams that can Kill

Vijay Showed me a Orkut Phishing website and Kari spoke about another that asks for the Yahoo Id and once you pull in all the details it vanishes off. Just because the flood of social networking web 2.0 websites and hitting the internet world with a flow and lack of understanding and alertness from the general internet users may lead to a disaster or gimic profiles or even misuse of accounts to an extent that you might get banned as some recent internet users were. Please make sure that before you accept invitations and send invitations you do some basic checks...

1. Check over Google, Yahoo and MSN about the search and page rankings of such sites.
2. Do a blog search and read feedbacks about the networking product you are to subscribe.
3. Please never plug in your yahoo, gmail and other details to send invitition to your friends list... no matter how close you are to the website or your friends you want to invite
4. Use the website on your own before you bother Me or anyone else.
5. Never use your Yahoo/Gmail/or any other accounts with the same passwords or user ids.
6. Avoid clicking on links that says "You can Talk Frre to Me on XXXX - Blah Blah" .... btw this was just an example fo some invitations I recently saw.
7. If there are no Image Checks on regsitration it means that the websites are not secure enough and prone to spams... avoid registering...


And the Last thing... If you really wish to be in touch with Me do use my blogs...
