– video made by the YouTube channel with the logo in the video’s upper left hand corner. OaklandNewsOnline.com is the original blog post for this type of video-blog content.It’s that time of year when yard sales and flea markets spring up, or at least they used to. Nowadays, much of that second-hand selling has moved online year-round to sites such as Facebook Marketplace. Sure, they can be convenient places to find great deals, but as Consumer Reports explains, there are some safety steps you need to take before you meet up to finalize an online sale. People buy all kinds of stuff from their neighbors on Facebook. But along with getting a good deal using social media, you can also get scammed. Consumers have lost more than $2.7 billion to social media scams since 2021. Some scammers lurking on Facebook Marketplace aren’t after your money. They want your data. Tip number one: Never share personal information like your address, email, or phone number. Only communicate through Facebook Messenger.Subscribe to KCRA on YouTube now for more: http://bit.ly/1kjRAAnGet more Sacramento news: http://www.kcra.com Like us: https://ift.tt/OkwCMLq Follow us: http://twitter.com/kcranews Instagram: https://ift.tt/ALudo3F

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsOnline.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the YouTube video channel for KCRA Sacramento uploads a video it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Online site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
