I want to share five important videos from our YouTube Channel. I realize this post will sound self-promoting but I promise you, it's based on what we are seeing in Remote and hearing over the phone. Why Do I Have A YouTube Channel? There are a number of reasons I have a YouTube Channel. At …

Check Your Facebook Security
Whether you're new to Facebook or have been on the platform since the beginning, it's time to check your Facebook security. Because of the large number of users (2.8 billion), Facebook is a hacker's playground. (They love to make fake accounts as we talked about in my post, Fake Facebook Account.) Checking your security will …
Deceased Friend Friended Me
You might be familiar with the recently canceled TV show "God Friended Me." If not, it was a show where the leading man (Miles Finer), an atheist podcaster, is friended on Facebook by someone called "God." He would receive other friend suggestions from the account and he and his friends would investigate the suggestions and …
Facebook Emails
Yesterday, a customer logged into Remote Technical Support for a quarterly checkup. Also, she wanted to know if there was a way to stop getting emails from Facebook every time one of her friends posted something. If you have a lot of friends on Facebook, getting an email every time they post or comment or …
#Hashtag
In my post entitled "Safer Internet," I used what we refer to as a "hashtag." In the days before personal computers, this symbol was usually called the "pound sign." In this day of Social Media, the hashtag is an important search tool. Often, on Social Media sites, we search for people. However, many times we'd …
Fake Facebook Account
This morning, I received this Facebook notification that M B wants to be friends. One small problem: M B and I are already Facebook friends. Since this is the case, why would M B be asking me to be friends again? The only reason for someone to do this would be if they got locked …

Many times, we can get messages through on Social Media when there is no other form of communication available. As an example, those of us in …

I recently celebrated a birthday and I received a ton of birthday wishes on Facebook. It's fun having these greetings and I like to do the same for others. Unfortunately, I'm not always in Facebook and I sometimes miss birthdays which I'd really like to acknowledge. Does this happen to you, too? Here's the good …
Don’t Use My Photos!
Here is something that people are seeing posted in Facebook and Instagram. (In Instagram, the word "Facebook" is replaced by "Instagram." Don’t forget tomorrow starts the new Facebook rule where they can use your photos. Don’t forget Deadline today!!! It can be used in court cases in litigation against you. Everything you’ve ever posted becomes …
Cloudy Confusion
Let's see if we can clarify some things about backup. Apple's iCloud, Microsoft's OneDrive, Google's Drive and other similar services like DropBox are cloud-based file-sharing services. What these companies offer is the ability to share files between computing devices. In reality, though, they aren't really what we would call back up companies. What's the difference? …
It’s Word Of Mouth
Do you own a small business or administer an organization? If you do, one place to advertise is Facebook because of the large number of users on this Social Media platform. (In the fourth quarter of 2018, 1.52 billion active users visited the social network on a daily basis.) We advertise there all the time …
