We do Google Apps so much, we don’t even have Microsoft Office installed on our computers anymore. Its very possible to work off the cloud with a device that just uses a browser. Life is good.

I’ve read One Man’s blog, where John talks about guessing or brute force attacking to hack your password. The introduction of special characters dramatically increases the time it takes for an automated program to try and guess your password.

John writes about these following great tips.

1. Randomly substitute numbers for letters that look similar. The letter ‘o’ becomes the number ‘0′, or even better an ‘@’ or ‘*’. (i.e. – m0d3ltf0rd… like modelTford)
2. Randomly throw in capital letters (i.e. – Mod3lTF0rd)
3. Think of something you were attached to when you were younger, but DON’T CHOOSE A PERSON’S NAME! Every name plus every word in the dictionary will fail under a simple brute force attack.
4. Maybe a place you loved, or a specific car, an attraction from a vacation, or a favorite restaurant?
5. You really need to have different username / password combinations for everything. Remember, the technique is to break into anything you access just to figure out your standard password, then compromise everything else. This doesn’t work if you don’t use the same password everywhere.
6. Since it can be difficult to remember a ton of passwords, I recommend using Roboform for Windows users. It will store all of your passwords in an encrypted format and allow you to use just one master password to access all of them. It will also automatically fill in forms on Web pages, and you can even get versions that allow you to take your password list with you on your PDA, phone or a USB key. If you’d like to download it without having to navigate their web site here is the direct download link.
7. Mac users can use 1Password. It is essentially the same thing as Roboform, except for Mac, and they even have an iPhone application so you can take them with you too.
8. Once you’ve thought of a password, try Microsoft’s password strength tester to find out how secure it is.

What does that mean?

Simple, without reading too much into it, people are on Facebook. Customers are on Facebook. They don’t care about your website, unless you can tie your website into Facebook and use Facebook to your advantage. Go where your customers are until you are large enough for them to come to you. But even big name brand companies have Facebook pages. Facebook is what MySpace was 6 years ago. But it’s even more.

I feel the success of Facebook is because it’s uniform. You don’t have to hunt and search for information that you would on a website.  Individual websites have email addresses either under a contact us page, a legal page, a privacy page, or an about us page. On Facebook, if there is an email address, it would be under the Info tab. If there isn’t an email address, there is a Send this person a message button under their picture. The uniformity allows for quick navigation.

Get your Facebook page now. We can code it for you.

One of the guides we really enjoy reading is Dharmesh’s Tactical Tips from the Trenches. Here is a summary:

1. Pick a name that works.
2. Put a simple website up. Don’t worry, we can help you with that, as we offer WordPress sites that are completely customizable. You can also go get your own hosting at Bluehost
3. Get some links from other websites to point to it. We’ll even point to it.
4. Set up a Twitter account (we can connect your website into twitter)
5. Add an email subscription form (we can do this for you)
6. Get a nice logo
7. Setup a Facebook business page (we can connect your website into Facebook)
8. Get a clean URL for Facebook. Just like ours http://www.facebook.com/ArizonaITManagement
9. Kick off a blog (that replicates to Twitter, Facebook, etc)
10. Write a blog article.
11. Set up Google Alerts
12. Find competitors for research
13. Update your LinkedIn profile and create a LinkedIn company profile.
14. Get Business Cards Printed
15. Create a StumbleUpon account
16. Subscribe to LinkedIn Answers (I really like this piece of advice Dharmesh writes. Seek to build credibility, not advertise your goods or services)
17. Find bloggers that are writing about your topic and subscribe to them. We use Google Reader. Subscribe to our feed here though.
18. Build some contacts on Facebook, Twitter, and Google Buzz
19. Install some analytics

We look forward to hearing from you.
