Techipedia: Tamar Weinberg

Just because my work includes strong involvement with social media doesn’t mean that I need to let everyone into my personal life… or for that matter… open my privacy so you can see all my posts. I kind of have an “old school&# approach but I also respect my privacy. © 2006-2010 Tamar Weinberg.
