MILWAUKEE- Could new technology or social networking sites put you at risk for identity theft?

It could, if you have not taking measures to protect your information on electronic devices or social networking sites.

How are thieves using new technology and social networking sites to steal our identity?

Most of us have been doing a good job of protecting our information by shredding old documents, and not releasing personal information to people we do not know.

However, criminals can steal personal information that we may have stored on smart phones, gaming devices, tablets, and other electronic devices.

If your device is stolen or hacked into, you could be at great risk of having your identity stolen.

Also, criminals can use information such as birthdays, maiden names, hometown, etc., listed on our profiles to gain access to our existing accounts or to establish new accounts. How do we protect this information from being accessed by thieves?

Social Network, Social Sex, Thrives as Place for Adults to Hook Up

Social networks are great, except when you need to make a change to one of your settings--then it's a veritable click-fest of wading through menus in search of just the right option. Hassle city. Last week I gave you some tips for managing Facebook photos; this week I'll tell you about a couple of great services that work with several different social networks.

BlissControl helps you manage social-network settings with ease. Just choose the setting you want to modify, then the service, and then click Go.

In an instant, BlissControl steers you to exactly the right setting page within that service. No fuss, no muss.

And no annoying login for each and every account, no setup that "grants access." That's because BlissControl doesn't actually hook into the various social networks; it's really just a wizard-driven, plain-English collection of links. But, man, is it handy.

The site offers an even dozen settings: change bio, change password, change mobile settings, change design, delete account, and so on. It supports about a dozen major networks, including Faceook, Foursquare, Instagram, Meetup, Pinterest, Tumblr, and Twitter.

BlissControl is free, easy, and fabulous--especially for users who are constantly stumbling around in search of the social-network setting they want.

Just the other day, Mrs. Hassle-Free PC was bemoaning the flood of notification e-mails she gets from Facebook. "Every time someone mentions me or shares a photo of me, I hear about it in my inbox!"

I reminded her that Facebook has settings that let you control the number and type of notifications you get.

"Great," she said, "but who's got all day to find them?"

Good point. As I've griped before, Facebook's settings are anything but intuitive. Of course, the same can be said of many other services that notify you to death.

Manage Your Social Networking From One Spot, Cut Down on Email

Jersey City, N.J. - March 27, 2012 - ISO announces a new resource that will help claims and fraud investigators identify an individual`s presence on social networking websites.

Web Presence Search - available through the ISO ClaimSearch Decision Net public records information portal - will identify an individual`s "web footprint" or trail of digital information left as a result of postings on social networking websites.

"The massive volumes of information available on the internet can make any online investigation of a subject a daunting challenge," said Rich Della Rocca, vice president, ISO Claims Solutions. "Web Presence Search can make a real difference."

To deliver this service, ISO has formed an alliance with Social Intelligence Corp., a leading provider of social media screening and research solutions. Social Intelligence uses cutting-edge technology, including multiple search engines and customized web crawling tools, to automatically screen millions of websites, social networks, and secondary data sources such as blogs and photo sharing services.

Search results are displayed in a Match Report summary consisting of URL links to web pages where reference to a search subject is detected. Findings can include personal profiles, employment history, educational background, recreational interests and activities, and personal photographs, including pictures of family members, friends and associates, video clips, blog entries, and news articles.

"Combining online search results with public record findings from other third-party sources, such as data aggregators and government agencies, is one of the most effective and innovative ways to provide a comprehensive, multi-dimensional profile of a person of interest," said Della Rocca. "The Web Presence Search and Report will be an important resource for our claims and investigations customers."

For more information about the Web Presence Search or to speak with a sales representative, contact the ISO Customer Support Center at 1-800-888-4476. Or send e-mail to info.claimsearch@iso.com.

When a major Canadian telecommunications company wanted to change how it handles employee training, it turned to social networking.

Telus, based in Vancouver, had long run formal programs -- mostly classes and lectures -- to train its 35,000 employees around the world, but found they were becoming a bit too stiff, said Dan Pontefract, head of learning and collaboration.

Some workers have difficulty learning in formal settings, and can better master new tasks by communicating directly with friends and colleagues.

Learning, after all, is social, says Pontefrac. The training should be social as well, he added.

"We always thought training was an event," he said. "It was something that you went to. We had a plethora of formal learning options."

However, Pontefrac added. "That's just not the only way people learn."

Now, Telus offers a combination of learning tools for its workers. "We didn't throw classroom learning out with the bathwater, but we made it a piece of a bigger pie that included informal and social," he said

The Telus training philosophy is now broken down into the three broad categories.

Formal training refers to any self-contained event that people go to, such as a lecture or classroom course.

Informal training refers to live Webcasts, podcasts or mentoring.
