Seth Godin leads the day again with a post about entitlement and worthiness. Basically, don’t assume you are owed anything, you need to work at things in order to be rewarded. Troy Hunt talks about a large security breach at 000webhost that the company is trying to keep quiet. It is an interesting story and the details of how Troy validates the breach data makes for a very good read. Google Webmaster Central gives us some good information on tracking down sneaky mobile redirects for our sites. If you run a site, reading that blog is always a good idea.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
