You might be forgiven for thinking that every day is social media day, given how much gets shared each day via social media services. For the past 11 years, however – yes, we’ve been addicted to social media for at least that long – the date 30 June has been given capital letters and referred to as Social Media Day, a 24-hour period when we are supposed to… …well, we’re not entirely sure how you cheer about any one day of social media content more than any other, so we can’t advise you how to celebrate #SocialMediaDay. But we do think that #SocialMediaDay is a great excuse to take a few minutes to stop and think about how to improve your safety and security on social media in general. Indeed, police in London, UK warned only yesterday – on social media, of course! – about the resurgence of a WhatsApp scam designed to trick you into handing over 2FA (two-factor authentication) codes so that crooks can take over your account: We have seen a surge in WhatsApp accounts being hacked, if you are sent a text from WhatsApp with a code on it, don't share the code with ANYONE no…

One of our esteemed clients, an infrastructure construction and development company from the western part of India, with diversified operations ranging from road, highways, railways, building and factories, mining along with several other verticals, is operating a number of coal mines which supply power plants in the eastern region of India. For one of their coal mine Project, they are a mine developer and operator (MDO) and were involved into development, operation and maintenance of a three MT per annum open cast coal mine situated in eastern region. They had executed OB removal and excavation projects in the past with the help of surface miner equipment but they had some blasted coal at their site which they were unable to crush into smaller size (0-100mm) with the help of a surface miner equipment. They used to dump the oversized material (ranging from 300mm – 600mm) in their dump yard with the help of 16 m3 dumper trucks. They still were facing problems in filling the trucks with full capacity due to oversize material which resulted in inefficient space utilisation and hence more numbers of trucks required to dispose the material at the dump yard. Since the crushing quantity was comparatively…

An Old Lycoming Township resident faces wiretapping and related offenses alleging he did not inform Mayor Derek Slaughter or a state Supreme Court deputy prothonotary that he was recording their conversations, which he later broadcast over YouTube, a social media site. Kevin Ray Bradley, 46, of 1812 Vesta Ave., allegedly recorded phone calls with Slaughter and Amy Dreibelbis, a deputy prothonotary with the court, not disclosing the conversations were being recorded, violations of interception, disclosure or use of wire, electronic or oral communications, according to an affidavit by Lycoming County Det. Trent R. Peacock. On May 5, Old Lycoming Township Police Officer Michael Engel discovered the recorded phone conversation that Bradley had posted on his YouTube page. The recording was of a phone call between Bradley and Slaughter. During the phone call, there is no mention of it being recorded, according to the affidavit. Engel contacted Slaughter who confirmed that he had no knowledge that the call was recorded and never gave permission for Bradley to do so. Slaughter provided a written statement to law enforcement. On May 12, Engel also found another recorded phone conversation posted on YouTube of Bradley calling the state Supreme Court official. At no time…

Turns out “LinkedIn for X” may have been a better frame. Doximity — a “LinkedIn for doctors” — went public last Thursday… … and in two trading days, the company saw its market value ~2x to ~$10B. Doximity was founded in 2009 The initial team included two tech veterans (Jeff Tangney, Shari Buck) and a doctor (Nate Gross). Doximity set out with the goal of fixing the medical community’s antiquated communication methods. Tangney, who is CEO, tells CNBC that 80% of communication is done via snail mail and fax. The solution: build a medical social network In the decade since launch, Doximity has 1.8m medical professionals in the US (including 80%+ of physicians) on its platform. While building out the user base, the startup also created a secure way for doctors to share information with patients and other doctors. Like LinkedIn, Doximity has a 2-pronged revenue approach: Ads: Drugmakers market treatments to very niche audiences, while health systems “promote content” to doctors. Recruiting: Hospitals and health facilities use it to fill open roles. Doximity’s sales…

(Bloomberg) -- Seah Hui Li rises before dawn every morning to make 400 traditional steamed buns filled with creamy red bean paste to sell in one of Singapore’s famed hawker markets. But as Covid-19 restrictions kept diners away, the 63-year-old stall holder struggled.Business is now looking up, thanks to an Instagram campaign aimed at helping elderly vendors and ensuring the city state’s rich tradition of local street food continues to thrive.The campaign promotes the stalls of struggling hawkers who’ve been hit hardest by the pandemic because they aren’t digitally savvy enough to promote themselves on food delivery platforms. The @wheretodapao page -- which is Mandarin for “where to takeaway” -- has more than 37,000 followers and carries photos of some 75 stalls, short biographies of the hawkers and reviews of their cuisine.“The social media post definitely helped my business,” said Hui Li. “I saw many new faces who said they are here because they saw the post online.”The Instagram site is the brainchild of 24-year-old social media executive Jocelyn Ng, who was inspired to help the hawkers after reading about their struggles in an article on social media.“I’m not an influencer or anything,” she said. “I just wanted to share…
