1 You have photos you'd love to share but one friend is on Facebook but not LinkedIn, another is on LinkedIn but not Facebook, or you'd just like more followers.
2 When you try to share something, you get asked for a password.
3 You keep hearing about other sites but have no complete list.
Answer
1 Use Sharethis
2 List all non-vital passwords somewhere secret not immediately obvious to somebody sitting in your office or kitchen but which will be found by family or colleagues if you die. For example: in a password page taped inside a cupboard door, behind picture frame, under your desk, under the phone, under the shelf of a bookshelf, behind a picture in a frame, behind a clock, under a carpet or rug, behind a minor, under a desk lamp, inside a CD, in a photo album, behind a noticeboard, at the back of a calendar, - look around your home and office, the number of places is endless but make sure it could not be thrown away or stolen or easily found by an intruder.
2 Here they are alphabetically.
Digg
Email (the most private, you can send individually but you can also send to groups, however most sites have an address limit to prevent spam, so if you belong to a club which has two hundred members and the limit is one hundred addresses, you may have to divide your club address list in half alphabetically.
Google Plus
Stumbled upon
Tumblr
Wordpress
Story
I have been relying on one or two sites. I now need more.
Tip
Keep a brightly coloured book or a book with a brightly coloured label for your passwords.
Action
1 Decide which posts and photos you wish to keep secret such as
a) Children
b) Your current location 3 Your future travels. (Maybe OK if you are a blogger and have somebody permanently at home, such as a family member, parents, relatives, maid, au pair, butler, colleague, staff, guest, video camera linked to your phone or neighbour to alert to intruders. Or if you have no home because you are constantly travelling.
2 Make a list of sites. Link them to automatically update.
3 Embed links in your blogs.
