- Facebook Partners With McAfee for Anti-Virus. Does this change anything?
- Websense Defensio 2.0. Websense offers a Facebook application to protect users from malicious content in their profiles. How does it work and does it help?
- Blippy.com – How far will information sharing sites go? Blippy allows you to automatically share your credit card transactions as you make them. This includes the place you made the purchase, the amount, and in some cases, the item. No really, it’s true.
- Breaking up and Social Media – What happens when a relationship ends and you share a multitude of social media sites with your ex? Can you “de-friend” your ex’s whole network? What about custody of photo archives?

Thanks for covering Defensio in your podcast! Facebook had problems delivering e-mails last week, which can explain why you never received an alert. We are working with Facebook on that.
One thing that is worth mentioning is that, amongst other things, we do **real time** URL analysis. Meaning that we do not need to have a URL categorized beforehand to understand its content. This is extremely powerful since new malicious URLs are created every minute of the day.
I invite you to view our screencast, I think it explains pretty well how Defensio 2.0 works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSLg-yVXt4I
