Twitter: a Spammer’s Paradise

Do you tweet? Ok… for the uninitiated this means, “do you use Twitter.com?”. Well, if you do, new reports indicate that with a few clicks of the mouse a spammer can harvest thousands of email addresses from the mini-blogging service. One developer noted, “You can sit and just watch the email addresses steadily trickle in… I wouldn’t doubt it if spammers are harvesting these.”

So for all you knuckleheads that blindly jump on every Internet novelty that comes along, enjoy your never ending flow of new and exciting spam!
