I have noticed that my follower count (seen to the right) has been going up slowly this month. Would you like to help me with that? It’s really, really simple. All that you have to do is click the follower count button and “follow” me from there. If you are already logged into your Twitter account, you can add me @sukosaki.

I like following people on Twitter and getting links to neat stuff, entering contests and meeting new people. Typically, if a Twitter follower is NOT following me, I do NOT follow them. Also, if their account seems to have no “action” in a month or so, I unfollow them, because it is obvious they do not use the service.

I usually post about my blog, daily happenings, neat links to check out and contests that I have entered. If you want to know more about any of that, please give me a chance

So, if you want to follow me and get to know me better, go ahead, I dare you Just kidding, I would be happy to follow you back!

The Internet is Only Safe If You Are NOT Connected To It

sukosaki — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 03:50:14 +0000

You know what I mean right? The most recent attack that almost killed Twitter and sent it’s 45 million users running for answers. The internet is so much fun, or it can be, but let’s not forget all about the crap that comes along with it. There are plenty of ways to protect yourself from bad internet related things, but do you know what can really happen?

What exactly happened in that attack?

Well it is known as a denial-of-service attack where tons of requests are sent to a website ultimately shutting it down for sometimes hours at a crack. According to the NYTimes.com website:

“Rather, he said, at about 10:30 a.m. E.S.T., millions of people worldwide received spam e-mail messages containing links to Twitter and other sites. When recipients clicked on the links, those sites were overwhelmed with requests to access their servers. “It’s a vast increase in traffic that creates the denial of service,” he said.”

Even though Twitter had a handle on the situation, they were still trying to get things back to 100% normal a day or two later.

There have also been recent cases of fraud involving Facebook. The way this one works is quite simple and can catch even the web savvy if they aren’t paying attention. A fraudster will hack into a Facebook account and start updating friends by stating they are in some sort of trouble (jail, medical bills,etc) in hopes that other family members or friends will pony up the bills. You laugh now, but it happens and there was a couple in Wisconsin that fell for it to the tune of $19,000. Bet they wished they never had the internet now!

You have no doubt been a victim of a website that actually downloads a virus right to your computer. Right! Most people joke about adult sites that bog down your CPU, but what most don’t realize is that some children websites do the same. You see, children don’t care what the “pop-ups” say, they just want to play games, etc. So when something gets in there way “Hey download this thing now and get blah, blah, blah.” the next thing you know is you cannot login to your account and your daughters knocked up (sorry, had to throw that in there).

Don’t forget identity theft. You know that one website you found where you can get that set of brake pads for 75% off? Remember, it was like 3 in the morning and you were determined to save money on that project no matter what, so you turned to the power of the web. Well, you think the brake pads are coming, but in the meantime, some crook is running around the web with all of your information (credit card included) buying up all the extenz he can get his hands on.

You won’t even know it until it’s too late, but isn’t that just part of being connected to the internet? No, it doesn’t have to be that way at all. Do your homework and even when those prices seem to good to be true, stick to website that have authority.

Let’s not for SPAM. Everyone loves SPAM, but not the kind the ends up in your inbox every week. There is still money in the SPAM business even after all of these years. “Get your pills online, today”, “Make your lover scream in bed”, “Get a better mortgage rate” and the list goes on. There are still people that click those links and sign up for bogus products and services. All those clicks and signups are making someone money and usually taking a bit from you in the process. I work with people that talk about FREE LAPTOPS and other things of that nature and I just sit back and laugh. If you weren’t “connected” you wouldn’t be wasting so much time with these types of things.

Let’s not forget about the SPAM you get from sites like Craigslist, LivePerson, etc. These spammers will usually reply to an ad you have posted in hopes that you will email them back with your real email address. Thus, they are now able to collect and sell that email address to the highest bidder (trust me, they are out there). Craigslist is a valuable classified site, but now that you cannot get an ad on the site without a weeks worth of SPAM to follow, I don’t see much value in it at all.

Playing MMORPG’s can be a fun way to let off some steam, unless of course you are being bothered by gold spammers and power levelers the entire time. This is just another avenue that fraudsters have found a way to make a fun thing, not so fun after all. What? You aren’t bothered by that on the games? Well, then I am sure that internet bullies are what bothers you. The next time your son or daughter talk about being bullied online, take them seriously, it’s happening all the time.

All of these are great reasons why you are way better off online, when you are not connected to the internet. Have a good day!

Using Twitter to Find Blogging Jobs

sukosaki — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 16:11:49 +0000

Don’t forget that you can use Twitter for other things that just telling everyone you are in line at the local Subway.

Twitter has become some sort of monster in the recent year, but some people don’t realize that Twitter has a nice search function. Going to search.twitter.com, you can find out what others are talking about, get an answer to your WordPress theme question or even find blogging jobs.

It’s really that easy. You are just searching for key terms just like any other search engine. You can use the #hash tag if you want, but you do not have to. I use the search all the time to find writing jobs for bloggers that do not have enough time to keep up with projects. The pay is reasonable, usually, but I see the market getting more flooded by the day.

You can also see the top trending keywords “tweeted” about throughout the day. Twitter can really be a nice resource if you use it correctly. Give the search a try and don’t forget to follow me @sukosaki to keep track of my bathroom breaks

Twitter Polls Made Easy

sukosaki — Tue, 05 May 2009 02:47:36 +0000

Do you know how to use Twitter? Did you know that you can use Twitter to gain valuable information regarding a specific topic? You can get answers from your followers, or the Twitter community in general, simply by using www.twtpoll.com.

The site is super easy to use and the interface allows you to track responses to your questions. You can ask anything that you want, of course, it must be within 140 characters or less! The poll is then saved to the site and can be “re-tweeted” to your account for further acknowledgement.

The site is fun and you can browse and search other polls to answer as well. The polls can be added to Facebook or even embedded into your blog or website. The polls can be sorted by Most Popular as well. Just doing that today, I see polls like “Do You Think Gay Couples Should Wed?” or “Who is your pick to win the 2009 Kentucky Derby?”.

The site is very new and the user base isn’t all that large, yet. I think it is an easy way to get information from your followers. Another easy way to find the polls is to search Twitter.com for #twtpoll

Free Gift Cards from Charter.com All Month Long!

sukosaki — Tue, 05 May 2009 02:21:31 +0000

It really appears that Charter is trying to whooo some new customers into it’s bundle system. Take a look at Charter’s Free Gift Card Sweepstakes page to see what I mean. The promotion is going to last all month long and it’s quite easy to win. There is NO purchase necessary and you can mix and match $500 gift cards to many brands. There is a grand prize of $5,000 and weekly prizes of $1,000.

Any customer, current or new, that purchases a bundle in the month of May, will be entered in the contest and will get a gift card for $75 or $150, depending on the bundle they purchase.

It’s very easy to get the latest from Charter.com, because you can now FollowCharter on Twitter. (@chartercom) Charter has really been working long hours to secure new customers. Last month they gave away a home theater system with one year of HD service, and last year was giving away laptops and Xbox 360′s like they were going out of style. Not to mention that one customer even drove away with a brand new 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid.

The buzz created for these contests is huge and you would be a fool not to sign up and at least get a chance at the $5,000 give-a-way this month.

Spammy Names Following Me on Twitter.com

sukosaki — Tue, 05 May 2009 02:11:32 +0000

Today I got 4 emails notifying me of 4 more people following me on Twitter. The account I use for this blog is at around 100 followers, but the account in question (for another blog of mine) has seen it’s fair share of spammy type names come around.

Before I can even get a chance to check out these “followers” they have been banned by Twitter. Well, at least I know that they are on top of their game. That is always a nice plus for a website that is this popular. It really makes using the site even easier and that is what it’s really all about.

Once you start to get spammers, bots, or whatever, the real users start to become discouraged in the site and will leave it eventually. I have also seen this in forums that I am a member of. Spammy questions, repeated questions, dead threads, etc, will kill a forum in no time. If Twitter wasn’t on top of their game, I would imagine the honeymoon would be over sooner than later there as well.
