Twitter - a warning, just in case

[Diflower]

I'm registered on twitter but barely use it.
A while ago several of us all contacted each other via here, so we're all connected.

Today I had an email from twitter saying Jo had mentioned me in a tweet. The link didn't work, so I went in separately and saw that she hadn't mentioned me.
But the email also had a link, in blue, to I don't know what, because I don't click on unknown links

Although I don't use it much, I've been registered for about 3 years, and this is the first time I've had anything even slightly iffy, so I'm not worried particularly. But for those of us who know each other - just be a bit wary

Di, split the link up with spaces so that it doesn't look like http://www.link.co.biz..... more www link co biz and send it via PM and I'll look into it.

It will be interesting to know what Jo says about her alleged tweet.

Nothing weird showing Frank, just a retweet of something Paddy Crerand tweeted, a tweet to Evil Kagawa (don't ask!!) and a picture of Adnan Janujaz's shirt.
Well...I don't think they're weird anyway

[Workingman]

Thanks Jo, it's just you that's weird then, just need Di's link.

[Diflower]

No Jo, you didn't post anything weird

WM i have the email still, is there any way of sending you the whole link address without clicking on it? - I've written it down but don't think it's complete. Will send what I have

[Workingman]

Have you PMd me Di.

I have a PM but cannot open it. Strange.

[Diflower]

Yes I have...
Will go look at it>>>>>

It looks ok, the bits I wrote out are in normal type. it's in sent messages
Going to bed now...

Di, it's a social hub based in Innsbruck, Austria, and retweets posts. How it got involved with your circle of friends is anyone's guess. That's social networks for you....what you post is out there, regardless of how private you might think it is.

[Diflower]

Thanks WM, that's ok then
You get all sorts, but usually it's 'x wants to follow you' and you can see they're a business or whatever.
This one was different so thought I'd best try and check it out

Just an aside, I'm averaging 32 tweets a year on there
