Pogo Was Right
Don’t be thrown off by the strange sounding name, “PogoWasRight” is a wealth of internet security and privacy information. The organization is done very well on the site: everything is listed right on the main page, and is topped off by a rotating image screen that shows the hottest news.
Instead of dealing with the convolution that log-in names and passwords bring to users, Pogo has a great system. The recent news is right on the main screen, a big search bar in the corner will allow you keyword access to a huge variety of topics.
In case you were looking for older pieces of news, Pogo has a great Archives system. This allows you to re-visit any old piece of news you were interested in, or just catch up on something you missed. Either way, it is very useful.
Although the search bar is nice, perhaps you just want to see all of the news and documents pertaining to one subject. There is a categories function, which allows you to do just that. Let’s say that you wanted to view all of the news outside of the U.S. You could either type in what you are looking for, or you could just go to the “Non-U.S. News” category.
PogoWasRight also features another thing that sets their site apart; the embedding of videos. This allows the site to put videos right into the content of their site, and not just send you on a wild link-hunt to try and watch the video you wanted. This video are often uploaded from YouTube, and with the media giant’s backing, load quickly and appear crisply on screen.
If you are surfing news on the site, and come across a text piece, RSS feed, or video that someone you know would be interested in, you can click the “Share” function, and your recipient will be quickly sent a message with the document you attached to be viewed in a convenient package.
As far as sources for privacy news go, PogoWasRight is a force to be reckoned with. Their site layout and meticulously catalogued information is tough to beat. They are always up-to-date, and compatible with many different forms of viewing.
