1. Tinyurls can be anything2. You may choose to follow a spammer (and then you see their tweets)3. It's not tied to an email address (only legitimate users can get an email address)What a waste of an article, and a completely misleading title. Buried.
So far, it seems like it's not an issue, but you do have a good point. We trust third party applications and services based on what other people are using and say is ok, but how do we know they can be trusted? I've always wondered that since I started using Trillian.
You do realize that the title is a perfectly sensible, semantically and lexically correct way to use the word "fail"? Or are you saying that because people also misuse the word, it shouldn't be used anywhere?
