open id

Yes, I would use my Google account for other sites, but not sensitive ones such as online banking. It makes sense to try and simplify login details, but it does mean that your open id provider has access to all the sites you visit, which could be misused by marketers. It's all a bit confusing...

online privacy and security

This information is useful to pass on to patrons concerned about their own and their children's safety on the internet. I must admit to being lazy and apathetic about regularly changing my own logins and passwords. The McAfee site has very good advice about online security for families which is handy to know about. It's all common sense but how often do we read the website private policies and statements before submitting personal information? I know I feel uneasy about Facebook where the kids share both useful and trivial information with their friends. Having read about the dangers of Facebook quizzes, I'm even more put off - your personal information is not as private as you think.

new adventure
