Identity theft is nothing new but from the recent articles on Facebook security holes (example) you'd think it was a whole new danger unleashed on the globe.

If you are on Facebook and share this concern, please voice it by joining the Convince Andrew Coates to Join Facebook group. Please invite your friends too. And...
I think CrunchBase is a really nice resource. For those of us bemused by the silly throwing around of money that is going on at present, this database is a nice way to search.
