Simple, when you check in using your mobile device make sure all share options are not selected. Don’t share with your friends, don’t post to twitter and don’t post to FB.

That’s it. Tell me if it works for you.

I love social media, it has its minuses but the pluses always pulls me back in. Information is money and social media is enabling the movement of information around.

People everywhere are constantly complaining about privacy and shit. My advice, if you want to stay private then simply stay away from these sites. You can’t have everything… unless you are willing to pay ;D….

What’s you take on social media?

Cool feature from YouTube. I think the service is called “DISCO”, short for  ”YouTube Music Discovery Project and Playlist Creation Tool”.

Search for an artist, watch all their videos or get recommendations for mixes from related artists.

Take it for a spin.

Seesmic has acquired Ping.fm. The multi social network update tool many have come to love.

The acquisition also included Ping.fm’s developers but the dollars behind the acquisition were undisclosed.

Seesmic now has access to more then 50 social networks! Ping.fm has about 500,00 registered users and does around 200,000 updates a day. This will now be Seesmic’s stats :D .

The Seesmic client will be fully integrated with Ping.fm by end of this month. This means Seesmic users will now be able to post updates through Ping.fm’s SMS, Email and Chat gateway.

Twitter was defaced and the image below is what you got when you accessed Twitter.

Negative publicity like this is never good for giants like Twitter. Hopefully they will have better mechanisms in place to deter this from happening again in the future.

Twitter has yet to release an update on what happen or how much data was compromised. I will try to keep you up2date.

Update: Twitter DNS provider Dynect was compromised and not Twitter directly. Source

Update: Dynect was not compromised, someone logged in using a Twitter staff id and changed the DNS entries.

What is Google Chrome OS?

Google’s a year away from releasing Chrome OS but the code has already been made fully Open Source for the open source community start enjoying today.

Google hosted a Google Chrome OS event today to share their progress so far and the direction they’re moving in. Also, there’s demo of Google Chrome OS in action. Watch the webcast.

I’m excited about Chrome OS. It’s fast (7 sec boot), it’s simple, it’s clean, it’s secure, all your data sits on the cloud and so far the UI looks awesome!

We use the browser and not the OS so why keep the the OS?  That’s Google’s idea and I’m loving it so far.

Reality check though, they might just be taking over the world!!
