First and foremost, the odds of your Facebook account getting legitimately "hacked" are pretty slim. Unless you’re trading corporate secrets, nuclear launch codes, or financial information with your peers via your Facebook inbox a full blown hack really isn’t worth the time it takes. Brute forcing your password or breaking down Facebook’s server side security for little ole you isn’t going to happen. Odds are if your Facebook account is ever compromised, it’s because you willingly gave away your password unknowingly. Here is how to prevent that from happening.

When I work with clients I find myself explaining quite a bit how a website is set up and the two main elements you should understand. I wanted to make a bit of a laymen’s clarification so if you’re interested in getting a website rolling, you’ll know and be best prepared to get started. I’m going to try not to get overly in depth with this and convey to you just the information relevant to understanding the big picture.

Last summer I was sitting in a meeting with a few directors I work for and we were discussing my recent venture in to social networking with one of our businesses. The idea seemed a bit allusive to my co-workers and the question was raised, "I don’t get the point of Facebook, it seems like a colossal waste of time." I get this response quite a bit when I push some business owners into exploring social networking and the most grounding statement I make that puts Facebook in perspective is, "They said the exact same thing about television."
