The SMB Minute Aaron and Tim discuss technology and computing important to Small and Medium Businesses.

Over the past several days I’ve been getting more Facebook spam.  Below are 2 examples.  Facebook and pretty much any other place will not send you links that do not come from their domain.  Even if the link looks safe, don’t trust it.  Instead go to your web browser of choice and type in the name of the site yourself, or use the bookmark/favorite you’ve been using.  If the site has a security update or is wanting more information, chances are after you login they will ask for it.  Remember if it seems fishy or not quite right, don’t do it, contact your computer guy or a reliable friend.

Given the recent problems with the T-mobile Sidekick, I am reminded that we have lots of data in the cloud.  Be it data with Google, Amazon, Flickr, LinkedIn, Snapfish, etc.  While the cloud is a great convenience for storage and  sharing, it begs the question; how do I back up my information?

Lifehacker has a nice article, including links, to tools for backing up some of the data you may have stored in the cloud.  http://lifehacker.com/5335553/free-tools-to-back-up-your-online-accounts.
