Welcome to our first “official” ABisode for the Audrey and Brandon Show: Sharing Technology, Education and Laughs (ABS of STEAL).

In this episode, we discuss:

• The recent phishing attacks and release of username/password combinations for some users of Hotmail, Gmail and other popular email services.
• What Gravatars (globally recognized avatars) are and how you can get your own
• Facebook Lite, the new stripped down version of Facebook.

Links we mention:

• Test your Phishing Knowledge
• Get Your Gravatar
• Check out Facebook Lite

You can also check out the Identity Theft Prevention presentation we did for Technology Tuesday way back in 2004 as well as more information about the recent phishing attacks from Computer World.

Elizabeth Bernstein shares observations with implications for modern communication in a Wall Street Journal article entitled “How Facebook Can Ruin Your Friendships.” Do you see implications for your own use of online social media?
