So here are some brief tips to avoid getting hacked:</p> <p>1. Use number, character, symbol and capital letter combinations (or, if you want to be extra secure, use <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters">unicode characters</a>).</p> <p>2. Change your password once a week.</p> <p>3. Use a password manager (for <a target="_blank" href="http://password-management-software-review.toptenreviews.com/">pc</a> | for <a target="_blank" href="http://lifehacker.com/5042616/five-best-password-managers">mac</a>)</p>http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/6283409448http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/6283409448Tue, 07 Jun 2011 09:11:56 -0400how to avoid getting hackedcomputer security<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lm80tkrdDw1qixvcdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>…a great thought on regrets</p>http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/6143800916http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/6143800916Fri, 03 Jun 2011 11:39:00 -0400quoteregrets<p>Instead of linking to your website homepage or Facebook page, consider creating a custom landing page for your Twitter link. This way when people click on your link you can 1) create a custom greeting and 2) easily measure specific inbound links from Twitter users checking you out.</p>http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/6106620991http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/6106620991Thu, 02 Jun 2011 09:24:49 -0400twitter tips<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llzgmzE9r21qixvcdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>What new thing are you going to explore this week? #eventprofs</p>http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/6001998137http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/6001998137Mon, 30 May 2011 11:00:06 -0400inspirationgoals<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lltfx7eB0F1qixvcdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Different often feels uncomfortable at first, but gets more interesting the more you sit with it.</p>http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/5871023535http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/5871023535Thu, 26 May 2011 14:41:31 -0400being differentfunny<p>Not sure what to blog about?</p> <ul><li>What do you know a lot about that others would want to learn?</li> <li>What questions are you constantly asked by customers?</li> <li>What hot topics are your community discussing right now? </li> </ul>http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/5870952474http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/5870952474Thu, 26 May 2011 14:38:28 -0400bloggingblogging tips<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lld50nJ4s31qixvcdo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Dear event rental companies…hint, hint.</p>http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/5611117322http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/5611117322Wed, 18 May 2011 14:00:06 -0400event rentalslighting<p><span> <p>Links within your websites should be very descriptive. Linking to copy like: &#8220;For a great event marketing webinar, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ready2spark.com/2011/04/event-marketing-2-0-the-archive.html">click here</a>&#8221; is not SEO effective. You want to tell search engine bots what the link is about by thinking relevant keywords, for example: &#8220;Take a look at this <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ready2spark.com/2011/04/event-marketing-2-0-the-archive.html">Event Marketing Social Media Webinar</a>&#8221;.</p> </span></p>http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/5577552427http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/5577552427Tue, 17 May 2011 11:39:40 -0400<p><a target="_blank" href="http://tasteologie.notcot.org/post/8051/">Tasteologie Review</a> </p>http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/5576995078http://ready2spark.tumblr.com/post/5576995078Tue, 17 May 2011 11:07:05 -0400hotel reviewnew yorkiPad
