Head Start Portfolio - Featured Resource

First American Title has always lead the title industry in innovative and useful resources. Lately they have been promoting a very nifty product they call Head Start Portfolio. It is a collection of information that allows a real estate broker to receive a large amount of information regarding a particular property. [/caption] In the past, a real estate broker had to navigate several websites and make several phone calls to collect this amount of information. Now, with the a click the mouse or by scanning a QR code, she can request the portfolio from the good staff at First American's Property information Division in Portland. Real estate brokers often use the information in the Portfolio to help them in consultation with home-sellers, in order to arrive to the best market positioning in this competitive market.

The Head Start Portfolio includes items such as:

• Site and assessment data
• Open deeds of trust including Notice of Default (if recorder)
• Zoning designation
• Statistical neighborhood report
• Covenants, conditions, & restrictions (if applicable)
• Property-specific utility contacts

Given all this information, it is not hard to see why this and other products offered by the Property Information Division (PID) of First American Title in the Portland OR. Metro area have become indispensable for real estate brokers there.

Licensed real estate brokers can request these and other products directly from PID at pid.portland@firstam.com or by visiting their website at www.firstampdx.com

Fix Your Security Settings of Facebook Photo-Tagging

The bad guys are exploiting the photo tagging feature to get facebook users to follow links to infected pages or other dubious deeds.

They generally post a picture and tag multiple people, including you, even though you are not in the picture. To combat this latest threat, you may want to consider a few changes to your privacy settings.

While the functionality of approving a photo tag before you are tagged is not available in facebook, you can follow the next steps to make it harder for others to tag you without your approval.

• Customize your privacy settings so that "Photos and videos I'm tagged in" is set to "Only Me."
• Set your notifications so that you always know when someone tags you in a photo or tags one of your photos. You can control this setting from the "Notifications" tab on the Account Settings page.
• Click "remove tag" when viewing the photo in which you are tag, and don't want to be.

Sendoid - Instant, Private, P2P File Transfers

What is Sendoid?

Sendoid is an on-demand peer to peer transfer system. It makes transferring any size file between two people as simple as clicking a link!

Where do my files go?

Directly to the recipient. The peer link provided after selecting a file connects the recipient directly to your machine. Files never touch or pass through our servers.

Is Sendoid secure?

Sendoid offers security via a 128bit AES encryption algorithm, link obfuscation, and an optional user-set password at the end-point.

Always be cautious when transmitting highly sensitive data over a connection you do not control.

Are there size limits?

Sendoid's web interface limits total transfer size based on the resource availability of your local machine. This tends to be somewhere between 600MB and 1gb. Don't worry, we'll warn you if you try to send or receive a file that is too large.

Very nice alternative to YouSendIt. It doesn't upload the file. Instead, it creates a P2P connection to the file on-demand.
It would be nice if a service like this became mainstream. I hate it when I receive bloated attachments in my inbox. This way one can choose when, and to where to download it.
