Wired News & Twitter
January 9th, 2009I’ve read an entry in the livejournal webdev community today – a link to a great blog post on Wired News about “the battle of the browsers”. Following the link I got onto the Wierd News Blogs website, and with a timeout of about 5 seconds I received a javascript popup message asking for my Twitter username and password. This looks like scam. Why the heck would a PR9 news resource do this?

Sounds a bit scammy to me as well.
