Sometimes when I get the itch to, I like to create things on the Internet. Sometimes they are useless, useful, serves a purpose only for me, or can be for everyone. Most recently, I worked on a new project using Tumblr to hack together a site that tracks the up and down time of all your favorite social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn and others.
Yesterday was not a good day for LinkedIn who confirmed that 6.5 million passwords were hacked and then leaked to the web. Although it’s uncertain exactly what accounts have been compromised, LinkedIn urged all of it’s users to change their passwords immediately. However, more bad news has arrised that eHarmony was hacked too, with 1.5 million passwords being hacked and leaked as well from the online dating website.
Each year social networking becomes more and more mainstream and popular as sites like Facebook become a household name. Facebook has over 800 million users, close to 1 billion. Once they hit 1 billion, 1 out of every 7 people in the world will be on Facebook.
If you were ever curious what parts of your social networking profiles people look at the most, this new study should help shed some light on it for you.
Every titan of industry who didn’t inherit their position started out with a resume just as thin as that of the next budding business person. Nothing about this changed with the advent of such online networking sites as LinkedIn.
