I’m unsure as to how making unfounded accusations is making “fair points.” That being said, am I being told to cheer up because I opted to defend someone or because I’m suggesting people not choose to “hang” someone before they give them a trial?

JaceMan,

MikeFitz made some fair points, and why should people give TweeterGetter the benefit of the doubt? When a service sets itself up with the appearance of being a pyramid scheme then it’s fair enough for people to protect themselves with a healthy dose of scepticism until it can be proven that it is legit. It’s very hard to see how TweeterGetter adds any value to the wider webosphere. Bernie Madoff and his Ponzi scheme proved that even your best friend can be a self-serving chancer. So it’s up to Mr TweeterGetter to prove he’s not in the same bracket.

Meanwhile, JaceMan, just cheer up a bit.

P.S. Well done for making a controversial post, and suckering us all into adding comments to your burgeoning blog. A good bit of self-promotion, but with a lot more obvious value than TweeterGetter!

They all have been marketed virally. Maybe just not as successfully.

No, I don’t use any of the other services you mentioned on my blog.

They haven’t marketed themselves at me virally.

I understand that.

So, do you use any of those other services? If yes, did you investigate them? If not, did you AT LEAST blog about them with the same warning that you blogged about TweeterGetter?

Surely you believe that fair is fair, right?

Hi JaceMan,
Just saying what I think.
I’d be investigating the background of anyone who asks for my password very carefully.

Prove he’s collecting the passwords. Prove they don’t remain encrypted during transmission, and that he actually stores them later.

When you’re done explain to me why all of the other 30+ sites out there that ask for your twitter username and password don’t have you standing at their door with your accusatory banner.

Warning. Anyone know who Gary McCaffrey is and what he is doing with all those Twitter passwords he is collecting? I think #tweetergetter is a very clever social-engineered attempt to harvest Twitter passwords. If any of your readers filled in the form and subscribed, I recommend they change their password immediately.
