Passwords, passwords,...
Small tip today: instead of using your dog's name or just 'password' as a password, you can actually generate strong passwords for free at the following site: http://www.winguides.com/security/password.php
Just select the criteria for your new password and click the button. The only thing this free web application can't do for you is remember it. :-)
The problem with today's web is the "identity silo's". You need a separate account for every site you use (so far in my about2findout journey these are directnic, seekdotnet, blogger, feedburner, google adsense). There is a growing identity 2.0 movement trying to overcome this inconvenience, but it's not mainstream yet. I'm not sure how identity and logon will be handled at my site yet, but probably with the traditional userid and password.
