Looks like Google+ API went banana and some private posts were accessible for a brief moment and reposted by Friends+Me.

I've already contacted the Google+ team regarding this problem.

    OK, I just got alerted to this - deleted some FB and twitter posts that were NOT supposed to have been public.

    I saw all of my private one-ton-one and private community posts from 7:55am central, all the way through 12:24pm central over on FB and Twitter.

    So the problem is more than just a few moments of duration.

    Just further proof that people need to stop posting private stuff online. Get a paper diary or download a journal program to your computer or device. NOTHING online is private. NOTHING.

    So the last bug is still not fixed and now Google+ screwed up the API really big time?

    Amig Von Hallen It just completely blows me away to see how much personal or super private details people post all over the web- especially places like facebook (coughs). Then, they're surprised when the info is "out there" or their accounts get hacked. A friend of mine always uses fb to check in wherever she is, and her house got robbed. Yep, that's what happens when all of your contact details are there, and you tell the world where you are and how long you'll be gone. Yeppie.

    Ondřej Pokorný I haven't blamed a victim if that's what you're insinuating by that link, so don't get it twisted. I have stated that over-sharers need to stop acting surprised when their information becomes public or used against them. All of the information about online safety, etc. is out there, but many people choose to ignore it. If you want to do that, it's your right. Do it. Just don't act surprised when private posts go public, when sites release account information, or when accounts get hacked because hackers guess your login info because of the information you put out there. Having a false sense of security isn't going to protect you, so just stop putting every single thing out there. Period.

    Mea Culpa to my SMM comrade Brandon Schaefer since I used my Google+ stream to share an image I used to critique and thinking that since it was set to private my comments would be between just the two of us. Using this thread to anoint my error and blame it on the G+ api woes -;>

Warning: Sharing That Image Could Get You Banned or Blacklisted

Warning: Sharing That Image Could Get You Banned or Blacklisted Most people have no idea that the way in which they are sharing images on #SocialMedia  or on their blogs could actually get them banned, blacklisted, or worse! In this next part of my Sharing Images Online series I take on the heavy task of explaining the legal side of sharing images in a simple way that everyone can understand.  Read the full post here:  http://dustn.tv/sharing-images-responsibly/ It basically boils down to this - you either have explicit written consent to use an image, or you don't. And if you use someone's copyrighted image because you just so happened to find it online you risk having your social media account deleted/banned or your website blacklisted! Let's all make the internet a better place for creators and curators alike and stop sharing images recklessly, and stop supporting those who knowingly (or unknowingly) do as well .  In the full post I tried to keep it as dead simple as...
