It is good to separate you business from your hobbies. This sometimes causes issues as google for example tries to link everything together for convenience and security.
Good Course
#Good quick reminders and common sense to the younger generation but maybe worth suggesting to older learners who may think that this kind of modification is in some way unethical
Interesting , so many people fall into the trap of using one email address for everything and not having multiple identities . Enjoyed this module
Specific and targeted.
back to basics
A good reminder for all of us!
Very interesting. Would want to explore this further.
Perhaps this was a useful reminder that not everyone knows things which have become old hat to most.
Good advice on creating different accounts
Yes it is obvious to separate work and private email addresses but sometimes a reminder is necessary
Helpful
Some really good links and useful content
Its food for thought and like having separate bank accounts for business and personal use makes sense.
