Apart from this we really go unfamiliar of the security of our self social networking account contents where we now a days share everything as per the features we get availed on the website.

So now coming to the basic mean to write this post blog. Somedays back, my friend sent me a link to scan the security of my facebook account. This link redirected me to a website namely http://www.reclaimprivacy.org/facebook.

You yourself can check the security of your facebook account and even can retain the secured privacy settings on your own if its changed by FACEBOOK without prior notice.

Get Protected:-

1. Goto :- http://www.reclaimprivacy.org/facebook

1. Drag the grey button to your browser bookmarks bar on the defined link.

2. Go to your Facebook privacy settings and then click that bookmark once you are on Facebook.

3. You will see a series of privacy scans that inspect your privacy settings and warn you about settings that might be unexpectedly public.

Finally you can secure those settings which were insecure for your account.

Hope you do it practically.

Never negotiate with your security over internet. :-)

Twitter is no more a new term for the web users. Its a micro-blogging social networking website which allows one to tweet( text based posts with maximum 140 characters). After a deep reviews over internet I found this list of popular celebrities accounts on twitter. These are real and fake celebrity Twitter accounts.  The Name link takes you to the Wikipedia entry for the celebrity, even for the fakers. @……….. redirects you

Please leave a comment if you have new information for this list.
