Re: Miami Man Arrested For MySpace Threat

Some people just don't know where to draw the line. A good friend of mne received a phonecall recently from a concerned loved one. They were calling my friend to offer condolences on her sons recent death.

Only her son wasn't dead. Someone hacked into her son's myspace account and posed as a friend writing about her son's apparent demise in a horrible accident. they even had gruesome pictures to go with it.

My friend freaked out and was in disbelief. She phoned her son but he didn't answer. For several frightening hours, my friend thought her son (her only child!) was killed in a horrific accident.

I guess that makes me glad that some of these threats are being pursued.

Hey Andy- Thinking about Darren's statements about how many comments per minute have to be made in order to make a decent living- he probably started a landslide over at DP. :)

I get offers all the time from people on DP willing to do dirty, tedious, monotonous work for next to nothing. I can't lie...I have hired some myself but I do give generous tips if they do a good job for me because if they do quality work, I want them to be available for me. :)

I agree that comment posting on blogs can be done ethically- but I reserve important jobs for myself or for pros I have worked with in the past that I trust. There is nothing more unprofessional than comments that are not pertinent to the conversations. It completely shows your company in a bad light. (Like the Wide Circle comments you mentioned on another page of your blog).

My two cents worth.
