• WordPress › Search Regex « WordPress Plugins
  "Search Regex adds a powerful set of search and replace functions to WordPress. These go beyond the standard searching capabilities, and allow you to search and replace almost any data stored on your site. In addition to simple searches you have the full power of PHP's regular expressions at your disposal.
  
  The driving force behind this plugin is to aid in website migration and upgrading. If you've ever done either of these then you know the pain of having to go back through all your data, changing URL paths and fixing things. With this plugin you can reduce this work to a search and replace pattern and the job is finished in seconds.
  
  Why would you want this? The primary reason for the plugin was to aid in relocating directories. It's a real pain to manually go through every post and change image directory names. With this plugin all that was required was a simple search and replace pattern, and the job was finished in a few seconds."

• How Companies Are Using Your Social Media Data
  On companies datamining your social media output and social graph for marketing and even credit rating:
  “I don’t think there’s anything scary about it,” she said. “Why wouldn’t they look at it? It’s public.”
  Point is that lots of people are not aware that it's public... and that they are not even in control of what is public or not...
• Social networking: Your key to easy credit?
  Apparently, speculation on the use of your social graph to determine your credit rating is no longer just speculation (and Rapleaf, already infamous for collating social networking profiles, is also active in this field):
  
  "If you're [using social media] and your settings are turned to "public," who you're talking to and what you're discussing is available to those wanting to sell their wares -- and that includes banks and other credit issuers."
  
  "Rapleaf hunts and gathers social networking transmissions, turning the conversations you have in your network into consumer profiles called social graphs."
  
  "Social graphs allow credit issuers to know if you're connected to a community of great credit customers. Creditors can see if people in your network have accounts with them, and are free to look at how they are handling those accounts. "
