Profile Picture

The reason for picking this as my new profile picture is because I made it off of a cartoon yourself website. This website allows you to make an avatar of yourself. I made it from scratch and just took the attributes that I see in myself and applied it on the cartoon converter. It is quite funny what I was able to do with this program to make an avatar that looks exactly like me.

Facebook Privacy


Facebook is a social networking utility that allows millions of people to connect with one another via the internet. The one issue that remains is how much of the information put on one's facebook stays private. If you hadn't changed your settings prior to December the default is public which allows any Facebook user to view your profile. If privacy is such a big issue it is best not to put such personal information on this networking tool. There are many other ways to network that aren't as risky as Facebook. Do you think Facebook has gone from an intended social networking tool to a potential stalker savvy gateway?
