By Michelle Harris|2017-02-08T01:20:37+01:00June 29th, 2011|Categories: Uncategorized|Tags: arrested, founder, naked, twitpic|

Bit of gossip for you ....... Noah Everett who founded Twitpic the media sharing site, tweeted from his twitter account today that he had been arrested and was in the back of the cop car and even posted a twitpic of it. He tweeted later that he got a ride home as he couldn't walk down the street half naked, I'm assuming he just had his top off as he does like a pose. :) I've seen reports that said he was actually naked, this clearly isn't what he put said on his twitter account. The picture he posted on twitter was supposedly proof of him in the backseat of a police car looking out towards the windscreen and a laptop - http://twitpic.com/5igfmy and it has now had 46k views, but people don't know what it is or what is going on. There has been no confirmed reports of the "arrest", but he's sure attracted a lot of attention from his 2,799,198 followers! Interested to see what he says next, maybe I'm just nosy :) Update: Earlier Noah confirmed on Twitter, that he was in fact [...]

We've been waiting for this from Google for a long time, since the speculations (inside information) around SXSW in March came out about Google circles. We thought then it was just going to be Google circles that was to take on Facebook but The Google+ project looks much bigger than we thought circles would ever be. Google plus is invitation only right now (figures), launching with what they are calling a field trial period, so who knows when the rest of us will get it, they say it won't be long.

Facebook clickjacking Scam – Boy reaction after his Ex-girlfriend posted

By Michelle Harris|2017-02-08T01:20:38+01:00June 27th, 2011|Categories: Uncategorized|Tags: boy reaction, clickjacking, facebook, links, Marika Fruscio, scam, share|

Photo by Darkpatator There is another click-jacking scam similar to other scams we've seen recently. The link comes up as a message in your Facebook news-feed informing you that one of your friends liked this link. (Oh so it must be true then) Not! The first warning should be that there is a picture of a naked woman and a baby? Boy reaction after his Ex Girlfriend posted on his wall With a blogspot link lol what true pain both are having at this moment When you click the link you are taken to an advertising page, which apparently has a video on it. When you try to play the video, it makes you like the page and it pops up an online survey. And so the scam cycle starts again....... its posted to your friend's walls saying you like it. Another similar one seen recently is one that promises to show you a video of Marika Fruscio during an embarressing moment, which seems to be her top falling down showing one boob. Wow how exciting is that! ... seriously, that's worse than the big bum scam. [...]

Twitter Viagra scam DM spreading fast

By Michelle Harris|2017-02-08T01:20:38+01:00June 24th, 2011|Categories: Uncategorized|Tags: Dm, message, phishing, scam, twitter, viagra, worm|

There is a new Phishing scam or spam DM spreading quickly around Twitter at the moment, seemingly a direct message that is sent from your friend says...... (or similar) "I got huge discounts on Viagra, cialis and more, no prescription needed." This is what twitter are saying ........ I didn't click the link myself so I'm not sure where the link takes you, although hopefully Google chrome would have warned me as it is pretty secure. However....... Please don't click it, as it will be DM'ed to many of your followers - and this will keep it alive! I personally, never click any links that are DM'd to me, without knowing about it first. They are either spam or self promotions, both of which should not be in my DM box. If there is something to say @ me - If I do get something I am not sure of - I ask the sender if they meant to send it, on this occasion I asked as a joke as why would someone send me something about Viagra :) If you have clicked [...]
