"There are hundreds of articles on Twitter all over the web, so I am not going to waste your time or mine on how to use twitter or the importance of it. All I can say is Twitter is the best thing that has been around in terms of marketing and networking." - direct quote from post

Given it was her first earthquake experience, Wilson did what comes
naturally--she twittered it.
"As soon as I got dressed, I twittered my experience from my cell phone," Wilson
said. "I usually twitter to 80 friends, but I now have 274 messages from people

When I first heard about Twitter I thought, this was the example par excellence of these fears, so for many months I did not investigate it at all. Then I read an article by Clive Thompson at Wired. Clive's article convinced me that perhaps it was worth giving Twitter a try. At this point I have to say, I am so glad that I did.

Twitter spam bearing a worm virus is on the loose today trying to lure Twitter users into opening a malicious file attachment containing malware that could take over Windows-based machines, Symantec is warning.
It works through a Twitter message that arrives claiming your friends are inviting you to join them and to check the attachment -- which is a ZIP file --
to find out who, says Kevin Haley, director of Symantec's security response division. "It's a new social-engineering trick," he says, adding the payload is Ackantta.B, a variant on the Ackantta worm discovered in February that has been
