I need some help regarding 'Location Services'. When I turn it off my chat app says it does not have any net connection. How can this be when It used to work before, when i switched off my 'loaction services'. But all of a sudden, it has no connection when the 'location services' is switched off?</p> Hi all.

However, I spent many years informing myself about personal protection, so that's colored my thinking a lot.

What I do use Twitter for is to share information about what's happening in the industries in which I'm involved, and to network in general.

Call me MiniScoble :)
