As more and more of life goes online, it’s increasingly important to guard the personal information we post online. To drive this point home, we adopted the Internet acronym “TMI,” — or “Too Much Information” — and designed security guidelines to help curb online oversharing. To make security palatable, we enlisted the help of comedian and YouTube celebrity Matt McCarthy to make a few snappy PSAs about common online blunders.

With an Ultrabook giveaway to help the medicine go down, the program quickly gained traction on social networks.

More than 76,000 unique visitors accessed security education on Intel.com, putting TMI at number one on the Intel Daily Radar for 26 days.
