ank

There’s a rumour going around on Twitter that Twitterank is no more than a rather clever phishing scam.

Twittereers and some Twitteresses world-wide have disclosed their details to discover their numerical rating for the purpose of massaging their egos. This colossal waste-of-time venture appears to be just another no-brainer Twitter App that is doomed. However there are suspicions that it may be more of a waste than at first thought.

Oliver Marks of ZD Net saw the following retweet on Twitter:-

"@t RT @brianoberkirch Twitterank is a vast conspiracy I created to steal all of ur passwords + shame Twitter into OAuthing. + make u look vain."

My advice, if you’ve got your Twitterank, is to look at this, read this, and then change your Twitter password – just to be on the safe side.
