My friends on Twitter recommended your site and I’m having a listen to your podcast right now. Thank you so much for providing this resource. I have recently started a full time position in Social Media and something I need to be fluent in are security measures in Social Media initiatives. This is an invaluable resource.
Additionally, I just covered Twitter Spam in my own ten minute Twitter podcast, a companion podcast to my books All a Twitter (now out) and Sams Teach Yourself Twitter in Ten Minutes (coming soon). Please feel free to have a listen back at my blog, http://birdhouserules.com
Thanks again for this resource and your work. I hope to talk with you all in the future.
Thanks to Tee for the reco to come check this out. I’ll be dropping this into my iPod for listening, and see what all of Tee’s excitement is about
