2010.05.10 by Leave a Comment
Recently a Twitter vulnerability was leaked that allowed Twitter users to type ‘accept username‘ (where username was another twitter user) and it forced that user to follow you.

One of my clients needs to pull an RSS feed from a real estate virtual tour provider and display it on one of their pages.
