Exploit lets me post via someone's account without AUTH

I just discovered a pretty big security hole with your website. It allows me to post an update via someones account without needing to login.

I have sent an email via the contact form, but as a failsafe I will post here too. I don't want to post any details as others may exploit this bug if they see this posting. Feel free to email me for more details: bmn [ at ] bmn dot name, or just follow up the email I sent via the contact form as I have put all the details in there.

Cheers,
Ben

I agree, Skypes video is the one area where its lacking on linux. Hoping for a new version too.

Aristel - lol, just providing an alternative. I'm not the only one here offering alternatives. – Ben Novakovic, on August 15, 2008 00:47

i agree, but given the situation, its better than using m.twitter.com if you want the features. Just offering a suggestion to the remark you made: "Oh, and DMs don't work on m.twitter.com, so it's not even close to an equivalent service." – Ben Novakovic, on August 14, 2008 08:30

try http://m.tweete.net for DM features, and @replies – Ben Novakovic, on August 14, 2008 08:22

or for a lightweight twitter web client with a chunk of features, try http://m.tweete.net – Ben Novakovic, on August 14, 2008 08:11

If anyone is planning on using the mobile twitter website now that SMS's have been removed in most countries, I would suggest http://m.tweete.net . Its implemented all the most common features of twitter, with minimal page size. At the moment each page is around 5k, which is 1/5th the size of slandr and the same size as the mobile web client released by twitter, just with more features.

Geo aware twitpic updates with maps

I was wondering if you guys were going to make the pictures location aware? I have a phone that auto geo-tags my photos in the GPS section of the exif infomation. I was just curious if you were ever planning to stick a link to google maps (or an embedded minimap) on the images page on twitpic with a pin pointing to where the photo was taken?

This topic is somewhat related to this entry: http://getsatisfaction.com/twitpic/to...

I got an email that Paul posted here, but I can't see his post. Anyway - just letting him know that putting the link and meta lines on their own line didn't seem to solve the problem.

I also tried Ash's suggestion of trying http://blog.bmn.name/ with the http and the trailing slash. Still no luck.

Subdomained OpenID Auth Fails

When trying to log in to the Particls Firefox extension with my OpenID, I get errors like this:

"There was a "HttpError" trying to authenticate that OpenID. Please check the value and try again."

My open id is "blog.bmn.name", and I wonder wither the subdomain is causing problems with the openID library you guys are using.
I know my openID works perfectly as I use it for a number of other sites such as magnolia.
