StalkDaily.com Worm Hits Twitter

Fake Tweets are being injected into 1000s of Twitter user’s accounts. The StalkDaily(dot)com worm is tearing up Twitter’s service. Twitterstreams are sending out the message “Hey everyone, join StalkDaily(dot)com. It’s a site like Twitter but with pictures, videos, and so much more! ;)”. Obviously you DO NOT want to click on any of these links. The only solutions being offered to highjacked users is to clear their cookies and change their password (lmao).

Many people are speculating that simply visiting the profile page of infected users will infect you. The rumor mill and pure panic are in full effect! Watch it all unfold using your favorite Twitter Cient!  Hope you haven’t gotten highjacked!

Twitter Explained: What Is #followfriday?

#followfriday is a weekly tradition on Twitter where members recommend interesting people they are following to the people that follow them. If people are following me, and I start following someone interesting, I may want to recommend this new found person to my followers, as they are likely to also be interested.

To do this I would type #followfriday @username1 @username2. My followers can then click those usernames from their own twitter screen and follow them on their own account if they choose.

What are #tags anyway? Hash tags (#followfriday) are ways to associate your posts with other similiar posts. Many people use different applications to search/sort tweets. Most of this software will allow you to monitor posts on specific topics. Example: One of my favorite bands is Phish. If I am making a comment about an upcoming concert, or am looking for information from other Phish fans, I might include the hashtage #phish in my post if I didn’t already include the word Phish somewhere in my context. This way it will appear to anyone following/searching posts about Phish to see my post.

How can you sort conversations based on #hashtags? You can use TweetDeck, TwitScoop, TwitterFall, or even just search.twitter.com.

A lot of people keep their eye out for #followfriday , now you can too.

Wordpress 2.7.1 – My Upgrade Experience

Finally upgraded to Wordpress 2.7.1

The only problem I had was the “Visual / HTML” editor links at the top of the content input box would not let me switch between the two.  After reuploading all files a 2nd time in ASCII everything works fine.  Kudos to the folks at WP for killing most of the bugs here.    If anyone runs into problems trying to upgrade their Wordpress make sure to contact me.
