We are a pretty Twitter-obsessed bunch here at PC Magazine. But while some of us have seen our number of Twitter followers jump into the triple digits, my posts are primarily a collection of nerd-oriented inside jokes aimed at my dozen or so co-worker followers.
So it seemed a little odd when I received a handful of e-mail notifications last about random people now following me on Twitter. Did they really care that I was obsessed with the mac and cheese balls at a recent Microsoft event?
Sadly, no. It was all a sinister spam scheme that toyed with my Twitter ego. These new "followers" linked only to a profile with links to what I assume are virus-laden sites.
