If you’re young enough to have watched the hit 80’s TV show Doogie Howser, M.D., then you must remember the scene at the end of each episode. Doogie Howser, played by Neal Patrick Harris, would go to his ancient IBM PS/2 and write his reflections there. In fact, it has been jokingly said that he […]

This morning, I received a direct message from one of my Twitter friends. It was a very strange message. Check it out:
I clicked on the link, which lead to this:
I checked the Tweet stream of the friend who sent me the direct message. She said she had been fooled into following a phishing scam.
She wasn’t the only one. Originally, the blogspot page directed people to another site which looked like the Twitter homepage. They signed in, giving away their user name and password. Of course, this helps spread the phishing scam via direct messages.
What really happened is that a mockup of the Twitter homepage was hanging out at a very bad URL. The good folks at Twitter captured this screenshot of the site:
These phishing scams hit MySpace pretty hard once it got popular. Now, it looks like we have to watch out for them on Twitter.
Phishing schemes kind of took the shine off the once popular MySpace. Looking back, I think it’s one of the reasons I stopped hanging out on the social network. I saw so many messages that weren’t from my friends even though it looked as though they were. I haven’t noticed the same on LinkedIn or Facebook yet.
If phishing hits Twitter consistently, then it might just be their demise.
What do you think? Did you get an unusual direct message? Think phishing could ruin Twitter? Leave a comment and let us know your thoughts!

If you conduct search advertising through Yahoo, you just got a brand spanking new addition to your search marketing team: Yahoo.
Through an update to their terms and conditions, Yahoo gives itself permission to hijack your search marketing campaigns. Check out the new language:
Sponsored Search
3. OPTIMIZATION. In the U.S. only, for those advertisers not bound by an
Insertion Order, we may help you optimize your account(s).
Accordingly, you expressly agree that we may also: (i) create ads,
(ii) add and/or remove keywords, and/or (iii) optimize your
account(s). We will notify you via email of such changes made to your
account(s), and can also include a spreadsheet of such changes upon
your written request. If you would like any of such changes reversed,
please reply to such email within 14 days of the change(s), and we
will make commercially reasonable efforts to reverse the change(s) you
specifically identify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you remain
responsible for all changes made to your account(s), including all
click charges incurred prior to any reversions being made. It is your
responsibility to monitor your account(s) and to ensure that your
account settings are consistent with your business objectives.
Actually, Yahoo began invading its customers’ personal space about a month ago. Al Scillitani was alarmed when he got an email from Yahoo saying they had made changes to his account - after the fact.
Now, it’s just official.
This is kind of like a fast food restaurant going into your burger after you’ve take a bite and removing or adding pickles, ketchup and cheese. Or your cable company going into your DVR and choosing which programs to record.
Have you received the new Terms and Conditions? Has Yahoo made changes to your account? Let us know in the comments!
