So, what would be accomplished by a bot posting the same message multiple times to twitter? I don't get it.
If I understand it right... It looks like a real message from a real person, so when a human admin looks at any one individual twitter account, it looks a little more human (and they're less likely to press the "ban" button). As Martin discovered, it was in fact a real tweet from a real person at one time. -porkchop -- Michael Kaegler, TESSCO Technologies: Engineering, 410 229 1295 Your wireless success, nothing less. http://www.tessco.com/ _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
