See What Links Are Being Shared on Twitter

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Recently, I came across a mention of a site that parses your Twitter feed, and tries to locate the popular links being shared by the people you follow. It’s called Strawberry Jam, and, as of right now, it’s still in beta. (I do have a couple of invites, leave a comment if you’re inclined to check it out.)

It’s a nice little service for those days when you really don’t have time to follow along on Twitter much, but you still want to see what sort of links are being shared among your connections. The service, upon login, will grab a list of both the most popular links being shared, as well as the most recent links, show you who shared them, and allow you to mouse over their avatar to see what, exactly, they tweeted about it.

All in all, a pretty useful bit of technology!

Oh this is going to be fun…. “Last year, I wrote about the potential for doxers to alter documents before they leaked them. It was a theoretical threat when I wrote it, but now Citizen Lab has documented this technique in the wild:” I’ve looked at this sort of thing before, and it scares me….

“Windows XP exited public support on April 8, 2014, amid some panic on the part of corporations that had not yet purged their environments of the 2001 OS. Unless companies paid for custom support, their PCs running XP received no security updates after that date” And we wonder why there are so many vulnerable computers…

If you’re already using a VPN when you travel, because hotel wifi and Starbucks wifi are not secure, go ahead and fire up that VPN tool even when you’re at home now, because your ISP might be tracking you and selling off that data too. But, also understand that the ISP is selling off chunks…
