Keep Your Facebook Secure!

If you are one of the millions of Facebook users, who ads their own photos and content, this article is for you. We recently discovered an area where security is sorely lacking, and wanted you to be aware of it.

Recently, Facebook has agreed to let third party advertisers use your posted pictures WITHOUT your permission. Can you believe that? I thought the whole point of Facebook, was that your site was secure.
However, here's how to prevent that. Click on SETTINGS up at the top where you see the Logout link. Select PRIVACY. Then select NEWSFEEDS and WALL. Next select the tab FACEBOOK ADS. There is a drop down box, select NO ONE. Then SAVE your changes. Just a few easy steps in order to secure your content, and make sure your photos don't show up somewhere else. Let your other friends and fellow Facebook users in on the tip! It is always better to be safe than sorry!
Here is another interesting feature about Facebook internationally. The following picture shows the search data on Facebook around the world. It is incredible how the world is quickly becoming united through the Internet and social networking!
