Really? Seriously, what permanent damage can twitter link monster do when they steal your twitter account and start posting PR0n ad links to it. You'll get your twitter account back, and then just delete those posts. And twitter monster will have made about $1.30 in affiliate fees, and be out of business. And you'd have some great material for 6-7 blog posts about how you'll never give out your twitter account information again.
Sorry, your paranoia just doesn't add up. Now, in some cases it does. If someone stole my gmail account, they'd be able to use google payments to buy whatever they hell they want. But twitter? Give me a break.
- jackowayed 18y agoNo, I understand the issues, especially for normal users. Normal users have a 1-password-fits-all scheme, which is a really bad idea. Then getting your Twitter account stolen is megabad. Even so though, there's twitpay, which lets you make payments via Twitter (I think it's setup so that it would only be any money that you have in your twitpay account that someone could steal, not money in paypal/credit card.) Still, if someone leaves a few hundred in their twitpay account that's sizable. Plus there's also a bug someone found so that once someone is logged in as you, they can just not close the window and keep tweeting as you forever. But that's still just tweeting. But really, the only people that really need to be wary of giving out their twitter password are people who use that username and pass for other things and people who have larges sums of money in their Twitpay account. I'm not stealing your passwords anyway though :-)
