The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
Windows Users Beware of Facebook Friends Bearing Videos. They Could Be Installing Malware Instead
A new scam is being spread through Facebook.
A program searches a computer's cookies for Facebook friends and then offers those friends a chance to see a video (is it that one with the guy deliberately going under the bus?). If the recipient chooses to view the video, the offer informs them that they need to install a flash viewer update, but thats a lie and malware is sent instead. After the installation of the malware it searches the new victim's cookies for Facebook friends
See how that goes?
But it will only work on Windows machines, so you Apple users don't get to have any of the fun.
Go eat worms.
Well, maybe a better explanation comes from vnunet.com's "Fresh Facebook malware attack spotted ".
I can smell and new Apple v Windows commercial in the making. But then again, as a Vista victim, I guess the Redmond folks have it coming.
