We're back from Silicon Valley this week with your regular selection from around the web all wrapped up in the podcast.

If we mentioned a place that you would like to visit online, then you can find all the links right here:

Are you any good at choosing a strong pass word for your online accounts? It seems that many of us are letting ourselves down. Lawrence Walsh of talks more about getting it right to avoid having your data compromised.

Blogging and publishing online is a great creative way to express yourself, but what if you are feeling a little restricted by the tools you have to hand? Alex Wood talks to Marcus Gilroy-Ware of to find out more about open-source publishing.

Another good blend of old media and new, on Blog Talk Radio is bringing our online lives and issues to the radio waves. I caught up with the host, Cathy Brooks to have coffee, apple pie and a talk about social radio in San Francisco.
