I have been helping put together a cutting edge course at the University of Tennessee on Social Media giving our advanced students some hands-on experience!
Here is what I am reading today:
“Online fraud and related crime is on the rise, affecting more lives and costing individuals and businesses more money year after year. Not to long ago, we showed you what identity theft and online fraud costs from the criminals’ point of view. For example, a cybercriminal could set up a fake online store, designed to steal e-mail addresses, passwords, names and credit card numbers, for between $30 and $300.”
“The American restaurant chain that specialises in Mexican-style food came under scrutiny after it was sued by an Alabama law firm for using “non-beef substances”. The lawsuit also alleges that the protein in soft taco value meal is not “meat filling” and fails to qualify as “ground beef” by the Department of Agriculture’s standards. According to the suit, a major portion of Taco Bell’s ground beef is made from fillers like soybean oil and silicon dioxide.”
“Were you creeped out by the ominous trailer for “The Social Network” (“I want you to notice, when I’m not around …”) and what it may say about you? Does logging on to Facebook for the fourth time today make you feel like a soulless shut-in?”
