A subject as dangerous as identity theft needs to have ways of prevention shouted from the rooftops until people FINALLY get it drilled into their heads (like using seatbelts). And one for Tracy regarding corporate blogging: one of my friends applied for a "data entry" job at Yahoo, only to find it was a corporate blogger job--she knew NOTHING about this company, and didn't feel comfortable pumping out lies unknowingly. She then moved onto another "data entry" ad that turned out to be writing online ad text--she can't stand the ads that follow you around via keyword, and she was being asked to generate keywords for them. So much for trying to work your way through college without leaving home or campus! She e-mailed me for advice, and I told her to run from both prospects imediately and go apply at a fast-food outlet instead--easy money there! Thank you, Tony.

I'm not sure if you're aware but the new legislations such as FACTA, HIPPA and Gramm Leach & Bliley ACT are now targeted towards holding companies responsable for lost information of employees and customers. This is something that is completely out of control. People need to know that companies losing key information about them to identity theives is massive! Keep up the great work on your site!
