Status Update on Google Wave Federation Effort
- DrJokepu 17y agoNot completeley related to the article, but the recent surge of people giving away their e-mail addresses everywhere on the internet hoping that someone with a spare Google Wave invite might give it to them made me wonder: how far would a fake-invite fraud could go? How many credit card details could be harvested? I'm surprized noone tried to do that.
- moe 17y agoThere's much lower hanging fruit than that. Just think of all the people who are conditioned by Facebook et al into believing that entering your gmail address and password to "invite all your friends" was a normal thing to do... Without a doubt many of the same people will happily tack their CC-info into any form within any half-plausible context ("we must verify your age before we can use your gmail password to invite all your friends").
