Episode 5: Create and Click Responsibly

Posted by Dave Konig at 3 March, 2010, 4:00 am

We have a new episode of our bi-monthly podcast for your listening enjoyment! In our fifth lucky audio podcast you can hear us discuss:

A Paramedic was terminated for creating an online animated video and sharing it on Facebook.
- Agencies, no matter the size, need to have a policy in place.
- Policies need to focus upon behaviors and not services. The fact Xtranormal was used for this video is a prime example of why policies need to be written that focus on behaviors.
- Education on the policy is critical and can easily be intertwined with customer service training.
- Responders need to create responsibly, “own your own words”, and understand your actions may have unforeseen repercussions.
Phishing attacks across social networks are a common occurrence that users can help curb.
- Phishing messages are usually generic and random.
- Phishing messages include a URL shortened link that when clicked will send you to a malicious site that will steal your user name and passwords for your accounts from your browser cookies.
- Click responsibly to avoid losing control of your account and potentially damaging your reputation.
