Internet goodies...

[angelwind]

I am interested in using this button...anyone else doing this?

Pinterest / Goodies

What are the risks to my pc safety?

 

[freezerman2000]

It looks legit,but it's relatively new.As with any new app,it is wise to proceed with caution,not with downloading and using it,but HOW you use it.
Here's a list of security concerns and the fixes if something goes wrong.
To Pin Or Not To Pin: 5 Pinterest Security Risks You Should Know

I am not a business...but I am concerned about viruses trickling down to me thru web sites I like to bookmark.
I set up an account, but did not put the button in my browser...I like the idea of saving things out there on the web...Adobe tuts for one.

I have never used it, but my friend Sunryse has; you might ask her (tell her I sent you)

OK....I clicked on her link...she is using Pinterest...for sure...

I need to take a break, I am very tired today...not sleeping well again.

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

Sunryse (Jennie) is a lovely person
She just stepped down from moderating.
I know she'd be happy to answer any questions you have!

I am in the same boat; had a killer headache for some 24 hours and was awake with it until 3:30 am
It is gone now but I am exhausted and resting too.

God bless and renew you, Shirley

Hi Shirley Sis'

Good information / advice [above]

Also, I notice, that among the items you wish to save, out-there
is: "Adobe Tuts"
So, please be aware, that Adobe, mightn't be too-pleased
to see their tutorials, being more-widely diseminated/promulgated
[copyright ?]

Maybe, you should be thinking, 'along the lines' of,
say Microsoft's Skydrive [private folders/ not public] ~for storage
and a Gallery [type] site, where the viewers
can comment but not ADD/DELETE your content

Security, IS a 'big-issue' and PINTEREST is still, very vulnerable at this time

Whatever you decide, I wish you well and, every success

your Bro'

The tuts I like already have a pinterest button to use for sharing...but I think I will look into the skydrive thing...that is a good idea Dave, thanks.

 

[angelwind]

Ps, I have tried using a blog for storage, but it is not convenient I find.

 

[If Not For Grace]

How about +1 from Google-At Least FB has a "me only" private setting. What is "friends" on +1? Is that friends of friends included-I notice it is not as popular as other sites yet and not nearly as user friendly as FB type sites

 

[angelwind]

I have my boards set for just one user...me...O my, I sort of like this Pinterest thing...I do not like facebook and I do not like Skydrive...I checked that out again, it is not something I will use much.

Hi Shirley Sis'

re: Skydrive....
it will preserve ORIGINAL IMAGES in private folders

while displaying
# PUBLIC FOLDERS that you have specified ~may be viewed publicly
# ONLY TO PERSONS to whom you have provided an url
# YOU CHOOSE whether to allow SPECIFIC PERSONS ~the ability to edit your content

I do wonder, why it is, you do not "like" it ?

Just 7 mg of space dave...I cannot put very much on it...don't know how to put links there. There are no share buttons on posts I read to share and save things at SD.

 

[angelwind]

Correction SD saves 7 GB for free, I will not pay for a bookmarking site.

 

[davedajobauk]

Oh, that is very-strange indeed Shirley Sis'

I have 3 seperate accounts, each @ 25 Gigabytes [75Gb's, in total]

I have successfully opened yet another .... only 5 Gbs with my new email a/c

Yes, that is very strange ~and hard to get my head around it


Let me look into this further

BUT FIRST..... I must ask you, if you have, a Microsoft Live Account [?]

It may well be
that you do not have a Microsoft Live ID formerly known as a 'Microsoft Passport'

I will let you know what I am able to find out

Hi Shirley

As promised, I have been searching for information
regarding your comments re: Skydrive

New Users are limited to 7Gbs per email account

SkyDrive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/skydrive/home

It seems, that I entered into the Skydrive system, at a more generous 'point in time'
and, have received no correspondence
that says I may keep that 75Gbs ONLY for a limited time
¬v

Users who signed up to SkyDrive prior to April 22, 2012
could opt-in for a limited time offer of 25 GB of free storage upgrade

I have a suggestion for you....
I will send you details in an email later today

I don't think I have that Dave,

 

[davedajobauk]

If you have HOTMAIL
Then you can use that addy to make a Windows Live Account

If you have several hotmail accounts [info later] you can have 7GBs per account

See my email later ....

I do have a hotmail account, but more accounts will just get too confusing for me...I like Pinterest...it is quick, easy and many sites are allready plugged into it for me. Thanks Dave.

I still have an offer to make you ...

I too, make use of, 'XHD'
