Let me just say that I love reading the NY Times. For some odd reason, reading it brings warmth to my cold soul. What is geotagging? According to the article I read, geotagging is “a bit of data providing longitude and latitude of where a photo is taken. This makes me want to check all my photos on Facebook because I don't want some weirdo figuring out the exact location of where I am or was at a moment in time. In the past year, security concerns have increased about geotagging.

Security experts and privacy advocates have recently begun warning about the potential dangers of geotags, which are embedded in photos and videos taken with GPS-equipped smartphones anddigital cameras. Because the location data is not visible to the casual viewer, the concern is that many people may not realize it is there; and they could be compromising their privacy, if not their safety, when they post geotagged media online.

The good news is that you can disable this feature. To read more go to: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/12/technology/personaltech/12basics.html

What are infographics? I swear I am learning more stuff about social everyday. So infographics “are visual presentations of information that use the elements of design to display content.” They are important because they allow viewers to better understand a complex message. They contain a “self-contained message or principle.” They also express the messages quickly and clearly.

If a road sign has too much information on it, then it is difficult to read. Infographics compress and display this information in a visually pleasing way so that drivers don’t miss the message.”
