And today’s useless but funny Twitter app is… Twicksize
by Mike Butcher
on January 13, 2009

There appears to be no contact details on Twicksize, but whoever produced it has a sense of humour. Plug in your Twitter name and you get ranked for the “size” of your Twitter account (probably a ratio of followers/following) in a notional “inches”. Alongside is a fairly graphic portayal of your “size” which leaves nothing to the imagination. Alas, I was only 11 inches, compared to @Techcrunch‘s fullsome 14…

    [...] Who knows what the developers of this application were planning (malicious or others).  Regardless, you should never give a third party site (especially ones that look phishy like this one) your Twitter credentials.  In fact, I recommend you only use third party Twitter sites that use OAuth for authenticating you to Twitter.  That way you don’t have to give your credentials to the web site and worry about them being compromised.  Also, look to see what the purpose of the site is before you give the jewels away…if it’s a way to see who’s following you, enter credentials to get millions of followers, etc…then it’s probably a scam or just completely useless.
