			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">If you find yourself <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">wasting</span> spending hours on the   Internet each day, for work or for fun, you&#8217;ve probably discovered your   fair share of incredibly entertaining <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/twitter/">Twitter</a> accounts. Twitter is indeed a gold mine of interesting content for smart people. Undoubtedly, <strong>Twitter is one of the largest and most popular social networking </strong>on Internet platform.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6245" title="Who to follow on Twitter" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Who-to-follow-on-Twitter.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="280" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Its role is great and can’t be underestimated in human life. It helps people to find new friends worldwide and also promote their business and marketing. The main problem to think about here is to <strong>understand who to follow on Twitter</strong>, who from the vast number of users can become your followers and how they will help you to come true your aims.<span id="more-6244"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The first and utmost point here is to<strong> follow people who are really interested in your profile</strong> or in the service you offer. It means followers should at least share one common thing or similarity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Twitter profiles have a button that while pressing show you the people who have certain features similar to you and are potential candidates to become your followers. The result of such inquiry may be fully satisfactory or not.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You as a user may choose the category of your search: to <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/how-do-you-gain-genuine-followers-on-twitter/"><strong>get followers</strong></a> based on industry, age, country or any factor you choose. The possibility of such search is to get real followers who are really interested in you and your profile. If a user is keen to get more followers fast, the best version is to follow popular and famous people. Try to find the accounts that share similarities with yours.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A user may realize this having a look at an account: it can be deduced from posts, comments, topics or links posted on the profile. Account’s profile can also tell much about its user and interests. For example a serious profile or user will never create a funny and colorful background design or post such links and posts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As a new user, you may be unsure who to follow. Twitter directories are a  great resource to find users based on subject matter, location and  popularity. Two of the most well-known directories are <a rel="nofollow" href="http://wefollow.com/">WeFollow</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.twellow.com/">Twellow</a>. You should register yourself on these directories so that others can find you too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Thinking globally it is not so difficult</strong> to get followers having similar interests and world views. If a user is known with general technical methods of Twitter and knows a few tips, he/she can find out who follow on Twitter and how get followers fast and free.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/twitter/">Twitter</a> is a huge social network</strong> that provides online communication for people living in different parts of the world.

Once we have had the basics out of our way, shall we go for some cool <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/top-5-best-twitter-tips-tricks/"><strong>Twitter Tips</strong></a>?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-6209"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Tips to Use Twitter Like a Pro and Gain Natural Followers</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Twitter’s main formula is based on follow policy</strong>. What does this mean? Besides friends and different groups in Twitter there is such a notion as follow. This is a dual action. One can just enter into any profile he/she wants and click on the “Follow” button and be always aware of that user’s action: posted links, videos, comments, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>How many <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/top-10-best-killer-tips-tricks-use-twitter-like-a-pro/">Twitter followers</a> one has</strong> the more famous is that profile and there is more opportunities to spread information. But getting followers is not an easy task. It requires both money and time.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To get more followers on Twitter fast different sites offer their services: you just pay a certain amount of money and within a few days the mentioned number of followers is added to your profile. But there is also the opposite way: it is quite possible to get followers free, in this case users need to spend much time and do all job themselves.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>But the process of getting followers is not over with this.</strong> In order to get more followers there exist common tips known by all. To attract more users and become followers profiles should be originally designed.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also, their background should be exclusive and unique, and the same refers to links, comments, posted videos, comments and generally speaking every step and action of the user. To arouse interest and attract users all these steps should be carefully taken into account.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In general <strong>people are interested in the <a href="http://techchunks.com/blogging/how-to-write-search-engine-friendly-content-without-annoying-your-human-readers/">content that is unique and origina</a>l</strong>. So fresh and new ideas are mostly encouraged and help in the process of getting new followers on Twitter.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Considering all these aspects we realize that follow policy is very important: it helps users to know much, be aware of many news events and also promote their business and marketing.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[You don't have to be a Twitter maniac to be able to use Twitter like a pro. If you are new to Twitter, or if you are looking to find useful tips and tricks for using Twitter so that you can make your experience easier, this article will help you do just that.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/twitter/">﻿Twitter</a> </strong>is one of the <strong>most popular social networking sites</strong> today. Unlike its counterparts, <strong>Facebook </strong>and <strong>LinkedIn</strong>; Twitter, the <em>micro-blogging platform</em> restricts its users by only allowing them <em>140 characters of space for their updates</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6159" title="Top 5+ Best Tips &amp; Tricks to Use Twitter Like a Pro" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Top-5+-Best-Tips-Tricks-to-Use-Twitter-Like-a-Pro.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="278" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">People are using Twitter, not only for personal and entertainment uses, but also for business use. This is a great way to reach millions of new customers every single day. When you are a member of Twitter, you are able to have followers and you are able to subscribe to other’s Twitter updates as well.<span id="more-6158"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You don&#8217;t have to be a <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/are-you-a-twitter-maniac/">Twitter maniac</a> to be able to <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/top-10-best-killer-tips-tricks-use-twitter-like-a-pro/">use Twitter like a pro</a>. If you are new to Twitter, or if you are looking to find <strong>useful tips and tricks for using Twitter</strong> so that you can make your experience easier, this article will help you do just that.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Twitter Tip #1: Understanding How Twitter Works</strong></em></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Anyone that has a Twitter account is able to leave a message that other people can see, but then the people who see these messages are able to “re-tweet” them to their followers and even reply to your messages.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you respond to someone’s message, your Twitter name will be shown with a @ preceding it. Anyone can view these responses unless you choose to respond via private direct message instead. You can use Twitter on your computer, laptop and even your mobile phone, and you can do it any time, in any location you may be.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Twitter Tip #2: Know the Reasons You’re Twittering</strong></em></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is important to know why you are planning on using Twitter. Some people use Twitter for entertainment purposes only, some use it to catch up with family and friends, and others use it as a blog or even to help promote their business. If you plan on promoting your business, keep your two worlds separate by having an account for personal use as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you use Twitter for business, you can keep your followers updated with sales, specials, press releases and other important information about your company.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Twitter Tip #3: Share Exciting and Interesting Content</strong></em></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you’re a member of the <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/twitter-aims-to-reach-1-billion-users-but-3-out-of-4-tweets-get-ignored/">fastest growing social network</a>, your content will be available to millions of people and businesses alike. There is a competition for followers among entertainers, businesses and bloggers too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you want to attract these followers, you have to create content that people will be interested in, even more important, you want content that will attract the followers that will be interested in your blog, business or you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Anything to get your followers interested enough to Re-Tweet is a good thing! Practicing is the best way to get a handle on the <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/twitter-planning-to-stop-the-140-character-censor/">140 character restriction</a>.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Although there are so many different ways to make money on the internet, making money on the internet isn’t always easy or quick. It takes hard work and dedication. Yes, there are some online jobs that are easier than others and there are some methods that are a bit quicker when it comes to making money online. If you have a computer and like giving your opinion, you might want to try doing online surveys from home to make a little extra cash while trying new products.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Best 5 Ways To Make Money via Online Surveys </strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Search for &#8220;<strong>Ways to make money online</strong>&#8221; and you’ll find millions of so called tips. But today, I&#8217;m going to talk about a related topic of <strong>online surveys</strong>, that are often used to gauge the opinions of people on different subjects, and can be excellent means to earn decent dollars online and yet is often neglected as a viable alternative.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6059" title="Top 5 FREE Online Survey Creation Tools to Earn Money Online" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Top-5-FREE-Online-Survey-Creation-Tools-to-Earn-Money-Online.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="275" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/how-internet-and-technology-changed-the-way-we-shop/">advantages of using the Internet</a> in these matters are evident. First, the low cost because there is no need to use an outside company if you do not want, second immediacy because the results are still in situ , third much higher participation if it knows how to reach users choice service and fourth simplicity because the tools available on the network are not difficult to use.That said, let&#8217;s see as the different quality options available to us on the Internet to <strong>create a survey and earn money online</strong>.<span id="more-6058"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Google Docs<br />
</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The search giant has its own generator hidden in <strong><a href="http://techchunks.com/technology/office-365-vs-google-apps-who-will-win-this-battle-of-cloud/">Google Docs</a> </strong><strong>surveys</strong> &#8211; using which you can build your own survey without spending any money and with very little effort and time. To perform one of these surveys you have to go to Google Docs and create a new document form &#8212; and the rest is accomplished by following the easy steps that are marked by adding responses to each new row. At the end of the process it generates a code that we embed in a web page for example so that everyone can respond.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The advantage of this method is that it is very easy to do and like many other Google tools, you can track the results from a spreadsheet that can also lead to a graph to taste, all without leaving Google Docs. In contrast, the results are not always reliable because nothing prevents duplicate voting.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Facebook</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Social networking is another ideal place for surveys where there is more contact with other users on the network. And if we talk about the most important community that exists today on the Internet, <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/facebook/">Facebook</a> should be a priority. Therefore, in the portal there is a tool called <strong>Poll for Facebook</strong> that is free and consists of three steps:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;"><em>1. Create the description and the title. At this time we also define the options and edit the text to our liking<br />
2. Include possible questions and answers<br />
3. Network share</em></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Google+</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/google-plus/">Google+</a> does not yet have any utility to do surveys, but as in the previous case should have some method of consultation with users on a network that generates great exchange of information among its members. In this case, and while awaiting an API that allows apps to include surveys, best practice is that some users begin to use: write a post on the stream on a point (with the option of commenting disabled), and quickly added possible answers in your own publication comments making it clear that everyone does +1 in the response with which you disagree.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yes, it is a rudimentary but effective technique, although there may be errors if one user decides to vote in several answers at once. In any case we could do a trace to find the matching user through the various responses, a task that seems cumbersome if there were many participants.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Twitter</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps one of the best places to do a quick poll is the <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/twitter/"><em>microblogging network</em></a>, which is aimed at brief and hurried conversations. In fact, there are many options if we decide to use the platform of the blue bird, but we will talk about that we think is the best at this time &#8212; <strong>Pollowers</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once you enter the account of Twitter in Pollowers website, you have to create the survey with the question and possible answers and send it to Twitter. The best thing about this development is that it has a function for which other users can return to share the survey with their followers with what the data are amplified.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Others</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We end our review by focusing on two quick survey services more generally:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;"><em><strong>- Twtpoll </strong> was designed at first for Twitter but can be extended to our Facebook and Gmail contacts. Some functions are extra service though.<br />
</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: justify;"><em><strong>- Quipol </strong>is designed for a very specific type of survey that requires only two possible answers. Since the website is tailored to the survey you can participate in other&#8217;s surveys as well. It also allows sharing on Twitter and Facebook Analysis.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As you can see the <strong>online survey creation options</strong> are varied and the employment system as well. If you are faced with the need to make an opinion poll ever, remember that the Internet offers the most powerful of all space to do so, especially if the surveys are integrated with <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/social-networking/">social networks</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">With the instantly <strong>increasing popularity and impact</strong> of <strong><a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/twitter/">Twitter</a>, this micro – blogging site</strong> has become one of the most influential websites existing today. Some people think that if they don’t possess a few thousand followers on Twitter (the majority <strong>buy Twitter followers</strong> for that purpose) and don’t post a couple of tweets every day, they won’t be considered a <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/top-10-best-killer-tips-tricks-use-twitter-like-a-pro/">Twitter pro</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5720" title="Social Media Addiction - Twitter Mania Or Twitter Maniac" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Social-Media-Addiction-Twitter-Mania-Or-Twitter-Maniac.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="254" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So in order to keep track with the times they have registered on Twitter and after a couple of months they have become so <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/top-10-tips-for-social-network-addicts/">addicted to this social media site</a> that it has become quite impossible to get out of its influence.<span id="more-5717"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nowadays a great deal of people is suffering the so called <strong>Twitter mania</strong>, which does not allow them to devote their time to anything else but tweeting and gaining followers. Now you can tell me that Twitter mania is not an illness and one should not take it so seriously.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">However I shall object to it by saying that if you get that illness and become a Twitter maniac it will become rather difficult for you to recover it as there exists no remedy for that.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you wonder what I mean by saying a <strong>Twitter maniac</strong> I can clarify it to you. If you prefer to spend more than half a day in front of the computer tweeting some new updates about how you have spent your evening or with whom you have had you lunch rather than to spend that time together with your friends or family, it is the <strong>first symptom of a Twitter maniac</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At first you won’t notice how you are gradually <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/5-social-networking-blunders-you%e2%80%99d-want-to-avoid/">getting into the net</a> of Twitter. You will pay no attention to the fact that you are concerned with nothing but tweeting, changing your profile picture on Twitter or reading the tweets of your followers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You are becoming so involved and wrapped up in these activities that you lose the sense of hunger, thirst and fatigue and think only how to be successful on Twitter and become popular with the help of your Twitter account (especially when you enumerate the number of people that have gained that popularity online).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Afterwards you will begin to avoid human communication, I mean face to face interaction as you are got used to see only the computer screen in front of your eyes and a real human face can seem a bit strange and even frightening to you. You will want other people to leave you alone with your computer as you will, from that day on, prefer its companionship rather than a human one.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This fact will undoubtedly worry your friends and people who are really close to you. But believe me that you won’t listen to their complaints and will be deaf to them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Read how <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/twitter-can-send-you-to-jail/">Twitter can land You in Jail</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe you will find this description a little bit exaggerating and in some sense ridiculous, however I can assure you that I am more than serious. <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/1500-facebook-twitter-friends-your-our-brains-cant-even-handle-150-buddies/">Twitter mania</a> is a kind of illness that cannot seem serious from the first sight. However I advise you to take it serious in order not to catch that illness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/twitter/">Twitter</a> is a social networking site that has been all the craze over the past year or so.  Many people use Twitter for personal use, and some may even use it for business use.  If you have a website, then you may want to use it to help with your marketing plan.  There are many <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/twitter-aims-to-reach-1-billion-users-but-3-out-of-4-tweets-get-ignored/">people that use Twitter</a> on a daily basis and yet they miss out to make the most of it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4813" title="Top 10 Best Killer Tips and Tricks to Use Twitter Like a Pro" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Top-10-Best-Killer-Tips-and-Tricks-to-Use-Twitter-Like-a-Pro.png" alt="" width="600" height="295" /></p>

<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Pair Twitter with an Online Blog</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are an online marketer, then you will understand the importance of having a blog.  If you use your blog together with your Twitter account then you can really double up on the amount of traffic that you have going to your site.  Make sure that you have a link readily available for your viewers to get to your Twitter site.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Schedule Automatic Tweets</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Did you know that it was possible to schedule automatic tweets?  Well, you can! You can actually use a variety of different resources that will allow you to post your tweets and schedule the time and day that you want them put onto your feed.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Make Your Tweets Informative</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By making sure that your readers gain something by reading your tweets you are able to increase the number of people who follow you.  They will likely share your page with others, which will result in a larger number of people seeing your site.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Group Your Followers</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">By using a tool called TweetDeck, you are able to categorize your followers into different groups.  This helps you to sort between your family and friends, business colleagues, and other followers.  As you get more followers, this becomes a must if you want to stay organized.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>TweetAdder Tool</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is a great tool if you would like to follow people automatically.  If you have a busy site, then this can be very convenient.  It will also allow you to unfollow people who do not follow you.  This is important when it comes to getting more followers.  By following more people than you have following you, it will make less favorable on the site.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Twitter Mobile</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are not always going to be around your computer, then using Twitter Mobile can be a great tool.  It will allow you to receive text messages on your mobile device when certain people post new tweets.  It is the best way to keep you up to date without having to constantly log on.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Be Up to Date with Twitter Lingo</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are a lot of different terms that are associated with Twitter.  If you are going to be a part of the site, then you will need to learn the language.  A few words that are commonly used are follower, tweet, @reply, trending topics ,and more.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Get Exposure</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Putting your Tweet button out there for others to see is a great way to make sure that you get the exposure that you need.  You should add links to your web pages, email signatures, blogs, and your Facebook page.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Use Twitter Search Effectively</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Twitter search is a tool that many find to be helpful.  You will be able to search for local businesses and more by simply typing it into the search bar.  There is even an Advanced Twitter search option for those that need a more specific search.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Don’t Make Your Tweets Sound Too Much Like a Sales Pitch</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While you may be advertising particular products or services, you will want to include other information in your Tweets as well.  Never make your entire Twitter site about sales and marketing.  This will discourage followers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">These are all tips and tricks that can be very effective when it comes to promoting your business through Twitter.  Make sure that you incorporate these tips on a daily basis to ensure that you are getting the most out of Twitter.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also, having a fast and secure Internet connection is a must especially for those who stay logged in to twitter on a daily basis. You need to have a strong and fast bandwidth to make sure you do not get lags in connection. There are many various providers such as AT&amp;T and Verizon who offer fast fiber optic internet service for your home or business. For example the cash back <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.rickscouponpicks.com/fiosdealsandpromotions/">Fios deals</a> offered by Verizon on a daily basis will save you hundreds of dollars. As a side note, also remember these <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/twitter-tips-remember-these-5-donts-to-succeed-in-twitterville/"><strong>5 ‘Don’ts’ to Succeed in Twitterville</strong></a>!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been a virus unleashed in the twitter community. It comes to you via the goo.gl url shortening service. Often it will send you to a series of URL's that will eventually land you at a top level Ukrainian domain, whitch will them send you to a website known for anti-virus software scams. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is <strong>another worm</strong> which is making the rounds on <strong><a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/twitter">Twitter</a> via the goo.gl URL shortening service</strong>, often directing users to fake anti-virus software, online security firms Sophos and Kaspersky report. <em>Attackers are believed to be using compromised Twitter accounts to post Tweets advertising various pages linked through the goo.gl service</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Warning-Goo.gl-Fake-Antivirus-Worm-Spreading-Malware-on-Twitter.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4211" title="Warning Goo.gl Fake Antivirus Worm Spreading Malware on Twitter" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Warning-Goo.gl-Fake-Antivirus-Worm-Spreading-Malware-on-Twitter.png" alt="Warning Goo.gl Fake Antivirus Worm Spreading Malware on Twitter" width="500" height="278" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This <strong>nasty worm on Twitter</strong> preys on users who click on a shortened link that takes them to a <strong>fake anti-virus site for &#8220;<em>Security Shield</em>&#8221; software</strong>. Once there, the aim is to get users to download what is billed as anti-virus protection, but is really malicious code.<span id="more-4210"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Affected (Infected) users might notice mysterious tweets that they did not write showing up on their feeds, many of which include goo.gl links that end with &#8220;<em>m28sx.html.</em>&#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;<em>If you make the mistake of clicking on one of the malicious goo.gl links you are ultimately taken to a website which attempts to scare you into believing that you have a virus problem on your computer,</em>&#8221; writes Sophos&#8217; Graham Clueley on the security software company&#8217;s blog.  &#8220;<em>You are then frightened into installing malicious code on your PC, and asked to pay money to disinfect your systems</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Attacks hiding behind shortened URLs are not new, and are also not technically challenging to execute. By their very nature, URL shortening services like goo.gl and bit.ly take cumbersome, long URLs and condense them down to a nice, short alias that can be used in its place. The concept makes it much easier to send some exceptionally long links, and is a necessity for a site like Twitter which caps messages at 140 characters.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Adam Wosotowsky, principal researcher at McAfee Labs, explains, the Twitter attack &#8220;<em>is not new, and is fairly simple to execute</em>.&#8221; &#8220;<em>The attack is most likely a Trojan that began by <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/twitter-routing-all-links-through-new-anti-phishing-service/">Twitter phishing</a>, possibly by a social media worm like Koobface,&#8221; </em>he said in a statement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;<em>Shortened URL sites are not 100 percent malicious, so blocking the  domain completely can cause false positives, which is something  researchers try and avoid. Goo.gl is an example of a site associated  with Google, so blocking the domain may be frowned upon by Google,  allowing the spammer to continually abuse the site.</em>&#8220;, Adam adds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To avoid falling victim to Trojans, drive-by downloads, and other malicious attacks hiding behind innocent-looking shortened URLs, try using a <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/1402-ultimate-twitter-tools-and-applications/">tool like</a> <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/tweetdeck-sheds-beta-tag-arrives-in-android-market/">Tweetdeck</a> that offers an option to reveal the full-length link behind the shortened URL before visiting it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In short: For now, avoid clicking on that shortened link if it shows up in your Twitter feed. If you click on a link and find yourself unexpectedly on a page that  resembles the Twitter login page, don&#8217;t give up your username and  password! Just type in Twitter.com into your browser bar and log in  directly from the Twitter homepage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Wonder how much of personal  information is fine (read as &#8220;safe&#8221;) on <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/twitter/">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/facebook/">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/myspace/">Myspace</a> and other <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/5-social-networking-blunders-you%e2%80%99d-want-to-avoid/">Social Networking sites</a>? </strong>Unless you&#8217;ve been living under a rock, you know that <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/top-10-tips-for-social-network-addicts/">social  networking web sites</a> are the latest and greatest way to interact with  other users on the Internet. Thirty-five percent of adults on the  Internet now have a profile on at least one social networking site, and  51 percent have more than one. Three-quarters of users between the ages  of 18 and 24 have an online profile.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Top-10-Things-You-Should-Not-Share-On-Social-Networks.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3517" title="Top 10 Things You Should Not Share On Social Networks" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Top-10-Things-You-Should-Not-Share-On-Social-Networks.png" alt="Top 10 Things You Should Not Share On Social Networks" width="500" height="288" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/social-networking/"><em><strong>Social Networks are a fun</strong></em></a> way to keep in touch with friends and family, <strong>they can also be dangerous</strong>. &#8220;<em>Posting  certain photos or information on the site puts you at risk of being  fired, a victim of crime, or even worse. There are computer programmes  called &#8216;data mining&#8217; that sweep Facebook to collect dates of birth,  phone numbers, addresses etc. That&#8217;s gold dust to criminals,</em>&#8221; according to Whitelegg, an IT security expert.<span id="more-3487"></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dangers of Social Networking: Here are the 10 things you should never post and why:</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1. Date  and place of birth</strong> &#8211; <em>This places you at massive risk of identity theft.  They are the most commonly used security questions on password resetting  sites.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2. Mother&#8217;s maiden name</strong> &#8211; <em>A lot of sites use your mother&#8217;s  maiden name to authenticate who you are. They also commonly use the  school you went to as a security question.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3. Address</strong> &#8211; It again puts you at risk from identity fraud, but also from burglars and stalkers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4. Holidays</strong> &#8211; If  you post an update on Twitter saying: &#8220;<em>Can&#8217;t wait till next Wednesday &#8211;  two weeks in Hawaii yeh!</em>&#8221; you are basically saying: &#8220;<a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/ticket-to-twitter-hell-in-5-easy-steps-mistakes/"><em>Come and rob me.</em></a>&#8220;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>5. Short trips from home</strong> &#8211; <em>Again, this can put you at risk of burglary and stalking.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>6. Inappropriate  photos and jokes </strong>- <em>Don&#8217;t post racy, illicit, offensive or incriminating photos.  Bosses and prospective employers are increasingly looking at Facebook, Twitter and Myspace  pages. Also, you might think that you&#8217;ve got a great sense of humor but <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/twitter-can-send-you-to-jail/">your tweets can send you to jail</a> if the federal agents mistake them for genuine threats!<br />
</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>7. Confessionals </strong>- <em>These can also get you fired or haunt you for  the rest of your life. Posting you are skiving work, who you are  sleeping with, or doing something shameful is just dumb.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>8. Phone number</strong> &#8211; <em>Unless you want to be bombarded with unsolicited phone calls from people trying to sell you something &#8211; don&#8217;t.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>9. Children&#8217;s  names </strong>- <em>These can be used by identity fraudsters or, more sinisterly, by ped0philes. It is much easier to steal a child&#8217;s identity. An adult  will eventually discover something is wrong by, for example, their  credit rating being affected. Children won&#8217;t.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>10. Don&#8217;t post a full  public profile </strong>- <em>It won&#8217;t just exist on Facebook and Twitter, it will also go on any  internet search such as Google and Bing. Only give the bare bones such as a name.  Keep everything else private.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Although <strong>TweetDeck </strong>is saying it&#8217;s &#8220;<em>been a crazy couple months</em>,&#8221; the wait  is finally over and today the company is taking <em><strong>TweetDeck for Android  out of beta and <a href="http://blog.tweetdeck.com/29764949">releasing</a> it into the Android Market</strong></em>. The full app is now <em>available free-of-charge in the Android Market</em> for  all to download, enjoy, and tweet away.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/TweetDeck-Sheds-Beta-Tag-Arrives-in-Android-Market.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3278" title="TweetDeck Sheds Beta Tag, Arrives in Android Market" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/TweetDeck-Sheds-Beta-Tag-Arrives-in-Android-Market.jpg" alt="TweetDeck Sheds Beta Tag, Arrives in Android Market" width="500" height="280" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The release appears to be for  the most part the same as the most recent beta release of the app,  which, by the way, you will want to uninstall before downloading the  final release from the market. The new version won’t overwrite the beta  and you will be dealing with the confusion of two identical  applications.<span id="more-3270"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">TweetDeck even notes that more than 36,000 users joined the TweetDeck beta.  TweetDeck also says that new versions of its <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/apple/">iPhone and iPad apps </a>are in  the works and will be modeled after the Android version. TweetDeck for Android will handle more than Twitter, bringing the  ability to post and receive updates from <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/facebook/">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/official-google-buzz-widget-for-android-released/">Buzz</a> and Foursquare  as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>TweetDeck  for Android</em> has lots of the features TweetDeck users will be used to, like user searches, but it groups multiple columns on your desktop into one home column on your phone.  Scroll over, and you get a ‘me’ column, with all of your recent activity and replies, and scroll across again for DMs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Head to the Android Market and download TweetDeck if you use any or all  of the following social networking services  - <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/twitter/">Twitter</a>,  Facebook, Foursquare and/or <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/the-buzz-about-google-buzz%e2%80%8e-its-too-late-dull-and-probably-going-to-flop/">Google Buzz</a>. Updates from each  client are viewable using the blended Home and Me columns so it&#8217;s a  breeze to stay connected without hopping from app to app.  Watch a video  after the break to see how TweetDeck works! If you&#8217;ve been waiting for <strong>TweetDeck for Android</strong> to arrive, take a look at the intro video below:</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>If you already had a beta version of TweetDeck installed, uninstall it  before downloading TweetDeck 1.0. <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/android/">Android users</a>! Have you switched? How is it for you? </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Twitter co-founders, Biz Stone and Evan Williams,</em> were front stage yesterday in front of an audience at San Francisco&#8217;s Commonwealth Club to answer questions about Twitter and its future. Twitter  revealed their growing adoption, with over 1.8 million users joining a week, more than the population of Stone’s home state of Nebraska. <em>Twitter, the <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/5-social-networking-blunders-you%e2%80%99d-want-to-avoid/">Social Media giant</a>, is confident it will</em> <strong>reach 1 billion users</strong>, though neither Stone nor Williams would put a date on achieving that goal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Twitter-Userbase-Keep-Growing-But-3-out-of-4-Non-Spam-Tweets-Get-Ignored.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3265" title="Twitter Userbase Keep Growing; But 3 out of 4 Non-Spam Tweets Get Ignored" src="http://techchunks.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Twitter-Userbase-Keep-Growing-But-3-out-of-4-Non-Spam-Tweets-Get-Ignored.jpg" alt="Twitter Userbase Keep Growing; But 3 out of 4 Non-Spam Tweets Get Ignored" width="500" height="284" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While Twitter continues to grow in terms of its vast user base, the growing number of users also mean something more shocking and concerning &#8212; in a recent survey by Sysomos that involved 1.2 billion Twitter posts (aka tweets) made over the past 2 months, it was found that <em>71% of the posts from the Twitter microblogging site elicited    neither a retweet nor reply.</em> That means <em>roughly 3 out of 4 Tweets get ignored</em> and probably never get read by anyone. So, if a <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/twitter-tips-remember-these-5-donts-to-succeed-in-twitterville/">Tweet is posted on the Web and nobody sees it</a>, is it worth the bother?<span id="more-3260"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course this doesn&#8217;t consider that lots of people read or view content &#8212; on Twitter and in other forms of media &#8212; and    don&#8217;t necessarily feel compelled to respond. But with Twitter, it is very difficult to know if your tweet was actually read by a silent reader or was not; thanks to the microblogging nature of how Twitter works!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to the Sysomos study, just 6% of Tweets measured got retweeted and 23% were apparently intriguing enough to warrant    a reply. More than 90% of retweets take place within an hour, so the <em>shelf life of a Tweet appears to be pretty short</em>. As for replies, 85% involve just a single reply, throwing some cold  water on the notion that Twitter is bursting with &#8220;conversations.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So as it appears, <a href="http://techchunks.com/tag/twitter/">Twitter</a> is getting into a stage when the founders should start asking themselves the inevitable question &#8211; whether to go for quantity (aiming at reaching 1 billion users) or to try and find out a way to take Twitter back to the days when it used to be a great place to start and engage in healthy conversations and people used to read and respond to your tweets. A situation that seems to be quickly diminishing with the increasing number of Twitter users (and increasing spams on Twitter).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Aiming to reach 1 billion Twitter users may be a great thing to have as a ego-booster but if that increasing number of users ultimately result in increased noise, increased Twitter spam and increased dismissal of genuine tweets, then the Twitter founders should better revisit their goals. Because, otherwise it may prove to be <a href="http://techchunks.com/social-media/global-growth-stalled-is-this-the-end-of-twitter-story/">the end of Twitter</a>! What do you think?</strong></p>
