Twitter Hacked

[Flying Headbutt]

Don't even log into your page. Someone hacked it and the minute you drag your mouse over anything something weird happens. It didn't trigger my computer's anti-virus, but it still isn't good.

Looks fine to me. Sure it's not on your end?

My problem was a post from somewhere was retweeted by someone on my list. Right above it was something from @Breaking_News telling me the same thing.

Strange to find only two items on this (just googling), and both are from the UK:

The front page of twitter is filled with posts about the problem. It's definitely real, and I'm terribly annoyed.

See? There are advantages to being a Luddite.

Try to access Twitter on a different interface like Hootsuite or TwitterGadget ... or on a smartphone interface like UberTwitter.

Great...I suspect I'll see an e-mail from Mr. Publisher asking us why our Twitter feed was hacked.

Tweetdeck works as well. A lot of college football writers got hit this morning. I follow many of them and had weird tweets in my feed. Luckily I use it on my phone and therefore, I rarely open the links.

It's all better now.

Can someone explain to me what is Tweetdeck and why I should have it?

From wiki:

"TweetDeck interfaces with Twitscoop, 12seconds and Stocktwits, all of which can appear in separate columns."

Of course it does.

It's a program that lets you follow multiple Twitter and Facebook feeds on one page, in separate columns. I have 5 columns on mine -- work Twitter, personal Twitter, Facebook, Twitter mentions, and Twitter direct mentions. I can post to any or all of those feeds directly from Tweetdeck. It also automatically shortens any link you post.

It's pretty cool. If you spend any time on Twitter and Facebook it's definitely worth installing.

I took some advice from people here and chose Hootsuite over TweetDeck. I started having some issues with TweetDeck not updating properly, and the web address shrinker thingy stopped working properly. Hootsuite is web based rather than it's own program like TweetDeck, and it runs on far less computer memory than TweetDeck does.

I use Hootsuite. Works with my LinkedIn too.
