Share Dropbox Folders With Facebook Friends
Dropbox has joined the growing number of file-sharing applications that connect to Facebook so that people can share content with friends.
This saves Dropbox users from having to input the email addresses of intended recipients of shared content.
Dropbox differs from from other file sharing apps, or at least the ones that connect to Facebook, in using folders for people to save things into and read from.
Other content-sharing apps connected to Facebook include:
Pipe, a startup launching this week for large-sized file transfers;
ScanDrop for Apple-based content;
Microsoft’s Docs.com, which taps into Facebook groups; and
Scribd, which has enjoyed larger numbers of users than the others, at least until recently.

Facebook and home security
Can home security start with Facebook? With almost 500+ million users, Facebook (whether we like it or not) has become a huge part of people's lives. Even I find myself on Facebook, updating my profile and checking up on what my friends are up to. Connecting with other people has never been easier. Live status updates, tagged pictures, recent activity, etc. let's anyone and everyone know what is going on with your life. Thus, in order to promote home security and safety, we must watch what we post on Facebook.
Facebook's recent development of allowing creators of applications access to contact information of users who install the developer's apps has been questioned by many security experts. This contact information includes your address and mobile number. Graham Cluley, Sophos security expert, says "It won't take long for scammers to take advantage of this new facility, to use for their own criminal ends." Although Facebook claims that these apps can only have access to your information if you allow them to do so, it can be hard to distinguish from safe apps and spam apps because there are just too many. An alarm system may prevent intruders from breaking and entering your home, but what's to stop "shady app developers" from SMS spamming or providing this information to telemarketing companies.
However, the problem does not end there with massive spamming. Fraud and burglars are also in issue when you are posting personal information about yourself along with your home address and cell phone number. Think about how welcoming you sound to a burglar when you post this status on Facebook: "Out of the country for the month..." It is almost as if you are inviting someone to enter your house while you are gone. Or, if you are posting that you are currently somewhere other than your home? Do not let other people know that your home is not occupied. This type of information should not be available for the general public or at least kept to a minimal.
The general information about yourself that is posted on your Facebook can also be troublesome. Credit card companies and banks ask security questions such as where you were born, what high school you went to, your birthday, etc. and these can easily be found in the info section of your profile. These facts are valuable - fraudsters can pick up all these little pieces of information and quickly put them together which puts you and your family at risk. Fortunately, Facebook has privacy settings to hide these facts about you for nobody to see but yourself. If you have not done so already, edit your settings and prevent your profile from becoming vulnerable.

Awesome Facebook Profiles Make for Great Employees
Want to know how successful you\’ll be at your job? Consider asking someone to analyze your Facebook profile. In a new study, a university professor and two students rated the profiles of 56 employed college students, grading them on characteristics such as \”dependability\” and \”emotional stability.\” Six months later, researchers compared those ratings to employee evaluations by the students\’ supervisors, and found that job performance was strongly correlated to scores for conscientiousness, agreeability, and intellectual curiosity, the Wall Street Journal reports.
After looking at pictures, wall posts, comments, and other information contained on the profiles, raters tended to give better evaluations to the Facebookers who traveled and had more friends and diverse hobbies. And the raters did not necessarily give worse evaluations to those who partied: Evaluators actually scored those with party pics as friendly and extroverted. The study shows that Facebook could be a useful job-screening tool, particularly because candidates would have difficulty \”faking it\” on Facebook, the lead researcher explains. But using Facebook thusly is legally murky, and employers may be wary of it.
