Is It Stupid to Trust Twitter Apps With Your Password?
Twply, the Twitter site that promised to email your replies to your inbox while protecting your password, appears to have tweeted a promotional message for the service on your account even if you opted out of this option. To add insult to injury, the site was sold today on Sitepoint for $1200, just one day after launch. The site, which required you to enter your Twitter password, has now sold that confidential data to the winning bidder - site user worldbuyer.
Here’s the Twply pitch from Sitepoint:
The site launched last night, The site provides a service to take @replies and send them to email.
The new owner will need to have a SMTP server with no limits to handle all the emails the server will be sending out.
Twply has been spread through twitter like nothing I have ever seen before, over 800 accounts added in one day.
