Technology Blunders You Might Be Making

Good friends tell it like it is. So that's what I'm doing. Hope it helps you!

•  No password on your laptop. Laptops are stolen and lost all the time. Read the stats on stolen laptops; it's alarming. Put a password on today! 
• Announcing you are going on vacation and leaving your house empty on your social media. Burglars scour social media to look for empty houses.
• Using an AOL address. AOL is so last century. It says to your customer that you are outdated. Make a plan to transition away from it. It makes you look a bit stodgy to your young customers. It says you don't want to change and screams out of touch.
• Gushing about your spouse on your social media. Mine is the best! He's so sweet, funny and incredibly smart. I never met anyone as wonderful as him Made my point? Annoying! Use Hallmark instead if you want to tell your spouse you love them.
• Using "just saying" seems to be a popular phrase, but you might want to leave it out of all of your electronic communications. "Just saying" is always followed by something rude so folks get the wrong impression.
• Admitting you are not tech savy. It's ok with me because I can guide you and teach you stuff. Don't do it with your customers. Real estate is tech driven these days. If you are not tech savy, you might rethink advertising it. 
• Not logging out of your email on public computers. I see this a lot. Please stop. It's dangerous for you. Run ccleaner or at least delete cookies after you use a public computer.
• Talking to dead people is creepy. They don't have Facebook. Talking to God is cool because He is omniscient, but talking to anyone else deceased is not.
• Printing emails isn't green. That's not what email is intended for. It gives the wrong impression to folks who care about the planet.
