What I Think Would Make Vocal.Media Better
What Would Make Vocal.Media Challenges Better? I wish on Vocal.Media challenges that judges would write stories about the winners. I would like a section from judges called: "This Is Why We Loved This Story." Occasionally, I read the challenge winner stories, and I'm impressed. I get why the person won. I'm in awe of them. I want to leave that person a comment of congratulations... and I have more to say than "congratulations."

Is Your Direct Selling Business Cyber Secure?
A cyberattack can be as disruptive to a business as an armed robbery. In fact, it could lead to more significant losses than the theft of cash or merchandise. This is because cybercriminals steal not only customer data but also intellectual property and trade secrets that give them competitive advantages over their rivals. Direct selling industry deals with a lot of distributors and customers digitally. It is imperative for them to have strong cyber security in place. The good news is that there are many steps you can take to protect your company from this risk.

Don't Do This
Recently, there's been an uproar on TikTok, between Influencers encouraging their followers to take advantage of Amazon's 7-day return policy by purchasing an ebook, reading it, and returning it for a full refund, and Authors, who are rightfully furious at what they see as Book Piracy or outright theft.

What is the Metaverse?
Imagine the internet as we know it today as a giant city suspended in the digital universe of cyberspace. Like any city, the streets are lined with buildings — shops, entertainment venues, office towers, warehouses and public spaces. But in this city, the buildings are a vast array of websites, apps and platforms. There’s the e-bay shopping mall, there’s the YouTube cinema, there’s the Facebook park, there’s your Gmail office, and on and on.

Click on Accept
It was one of those nights when there was nothing on TV and it was too early to go to bed, so I was web surfing. I had heard about a site that was like Amazon but all their items were pre-owned (used). They sold everything from houses to hose clamps, vacation packages to vacuums — you name it, they had it for sale. I eventually found the site and started exploring a virtual cornucopia of items for sale. Why someone would buy slightly used shoelaces is beyond me, but there they were for 25 cents per lace. As I was scanning other items, an information box popped up on my screen informing me that, after reading the Terms and Conditions, I would need to click the Accept button if I wanted to continue using the site. I had 10 seconds to click Accept. No one, me included, ever takes the time to read the 25 plus pages of legalese that are usually included in the conditions box. I clicked Accept and continued browsing. About an hour later, I called it a night and went to bed.

Wordle Scares The Hell Out Of Me
Like millions of other people, I take a little Wordle with my coffee. I don't need to describe to you what Wordle is. You probably play it already. And if you don't: here. Go on—it's OK. It'll take you five minutes, it's ridiculously good fun, it doesn't demand your extended attention or your data, and it's completely free (for now, anyway—more on that in a minute)
