Norton released a report in March, 2010, revealing those cities most succeptible to cyber crime--which cost Americans more than $560 million in 2009. Few things sidetrack e-commerce like cyber crime threats. This is a good reminder for e-commerce professionals (especially in the below cities) to ensure consumers that their information is secure - through privacy badges and a full description of all measures you take-including data encryption-to protect sensitive information.

Two announcements from Facebook, one officially released and the other to be made at the f8 developer conference at the end of April, indicate perhaps the strongest push yet by the social network for smaller-business advertising dollars. First came news of an alliance with business optimization software provider Omniture, aimed at helping companies more easily integrate Facebook as a marketing channel through "relevant conversations" withs its more than 400 million active users. Then came the widely reported but unconfirmed news that Facebook will reveal the arrival of location as a status update available to users. This move will open the doors even wider for local advertisers, and be a direct challenge to Google for small-business ad revenue. It will also very likely rankle millions of users concerned about their privacy, which Facebook has so famously done before.
**Have a GREAT weekend filled with SMILES!
