Just checked twitter and instead of the fail whale I got something different … “This Web Site Has Been Hacked By Iranian Cyber Arm”. Oh dear. At least there’s no destructive payload, no virus installers, just the vandalism. Interesting though, they’ve managed to upload pictures to the twitter servers. There doesn’t appear to be a redirect or anything that would indicate XSS, something twitter has had big problems with. When I hit refresh it’s back to normal. I’m wondering if they’ve managed to get some servers but not all, which may point to cracking the servers...
Last night my twitter feed started filling up with messages about Twitterank; in fact there are so many messages that it's currently in the top 10 trends for the day on tweetscans.com. Looking at the people in my feed who used it; a few MVPs, a bunch of Microsoft staffers and a couple of other technical folks it looked interested. Except, well, I'm paranoid . Twitterank is much like a google PageRank for your twitter accounts. Cool, just what we need, more ways to feel inadequate on the internet. The interesting part of it is...
It appears I started a trend. Once I setup the nxtgen twitter account I sent an email to an email list I’m subscribed to which contains a bunch of other community "leaders" (I’m not so much a leader, but a community whore according to Sarah).

A twitter account, an RSS feed for your user group and TwitterFeed (oh and you need an OpenID account to log in to TwitterFeed;...
Ah web 2.0 marketing; I’ve just setup a twitter account for nxtgen; it will pull in and tweet events, news and podcasts. Unfortunately this means you may see things like the ReadyBoost song for which I can only apologise. I would exhort you to follow the nxtgen account; but as Dave and Rich spread the nxtgen tentacles far and wide I’m worried about the use of "follow"; as one day soon I expect to be presented with a minion uniform to wear and I’ll be forced to stand behind Dave whilst he webcasts (using Office Live Meeting of course) demanding...
Outlook controls my life. It gets my emails. It holds my address book, calendar and syncs them to my phone. It pulls down my RSS feeds via Newsgator and now it even pulls in my Twitter messages using OutTwit. (it’s surprising how addictive Twitter became as more and more people I knew started using it. Blogging for those with short attention spans) Yes, OutTwit is an early alpha release; it has limitations (you can’t reply to a message easily yet, every tweet has that status message of "This message has not been sent", you can’t get Outlook to popup...
