The answer isn’t complicated when you get down to the nuts and bolts of using social media. Take Twitter. I was interviewed by CNN two weeks ago and the producer for the segment asked me about my new book and some other things related to my background. He told me about...

Gov’t document: Health site posed security risk [ BeritaTerkini ]
WASHINGTON (AP) — An internal government memo obtained by The Associated Press shows administration officials were concerned that a lack of testing posed a “high” security risk for President Barack Obama’s new health insurance website. The Sept. 27 memo to Medicare chief Marylin Tavenner said a website contractor wasn’t able to test all the security controls in one complete version of the system.

Wii U still not a hit with gamers [ BeritaTerkini ]
Press Association – Nintendo is suffering as sales of its Wii U game console continue to be hit by a shift to gaming on smartphones and tablets. The video game maker behind Pokemon and Super Mario made a loss in the latest quarter of £50 million, which virtually wiped out a profit from the previous one.

The company’s business has been shaken in recent years as more people...
