Live Twitter XSS It's one of these days where I just had one of these "Oh no..." moments when I logged into my Twitter account and suddenly a message box with my cookie popped up. Apparently, there is an actively exploited XSS vulnerability on Twitter. From my first preliminary analysis, you'll have to hover over a link to activate it and so far I have just seen some proof of concepts from people I follow. Update (14:05 CEST): This vulnerability is confirmed to be exploitable with no user interaction automatically. Update 2 (14:13 CEST): It is possible to load secondary JavaScript from an external URL with no user interaction, which makes this definitely wormable and dangerous. Update 3 (14:24 CEST): Worm code for this vulnerability has been posted on IRC, making the rounds. Update 4 (14:36 CEST): Worm is live already... Update 5 (14:59 CEST): It appears Twitter now properly escapes links, that specific vulnerability seems closed.

Pourquoi Facebook offre 3 milliards de dollars pour Snapchat Mark Zuckerberg serait-il paranoïaque, en privé comme dans son job de patron de Facebook ? En octobre, la presse californienne avait raconté comment le jeune milliardaire avait racheté trois villas contiguës à la sienne, à Palo Alto, histoire de ne pas être embêté par des voisins. Celui qui fait commerce de la vie privée des autres protège donc la sienne. On peut se demander si la tentative de rachat de Snapchat par Facebook ne relève pas du même réflexe. Le réseau social aurait proposé 3 milliards de dollars cash (2,2 milliards d’euros) pour racheter cette start-up de cinquante-sept salariés, créée il y a deux ans. Révélée mercredi 13 novembre par le Wall Street Journal, cette offre hallucinante a néanmoins été déclinée par les deux fondateurs de Snapchat. Snapchat est une application qui permet d’envoyer des messages, photos et vidéos qui s’effacent quelques secondes après que leur destinataire les a découverts.

Hashtags Hashtags Introduction Hashtags are a community-driven convention for adding additional context and metadata to your tweets. They're like tags on Flickr, only added inline to your post. You create a hashtag simply by prefixing a word with a hash symbol: #hashtag. Hashtags were developed as a means to create "groupings" on Twitter, without having to change the basic service. hashtags.org provides real-time tracking of Twitter hashtags. How To Use Hashtags Start using hashtags in your tweets, preceding key words. Finally, track other tweets on the subjects you're interested in (ie: those containing the appropriate hashtags) by browsing/searching at Hashtags.org, TwitterGroups, TweetChat, TweetGrid, Twitterfall, etc. Use of hashtags Hashtags were popularized during the San Diego forest fires in 2007 when Nate Ritter used the hashtag "#sandiegofire" to identify his updates related to the disaster.

Facebook launches On February 4, 2004, a Harvard sophomore named Mark Zuckerberg launches The Facebook, a social media website he had built in order to connect Harvard students with one another. By the next day, over a thousand people had registered, and that was only the beginning. Now known simply as Facebook, the site quickly ballooned into one of the most significant social media companies in history. Today, Facebook is one of the most valuable companies in the world, with over 2 billion monthly active users. The origins of Facebook have been highly scrutinized (including in the critically acclaimed 2010 film The Social Network), but the exact source of the idea remains unclear. Over the course of his sophomore year, Zuckerberg built what would become Facebook. From there, Facebook spread across the world, becoming not only an incredibly valuable company but also one of the most important institutions of the early 21st Century.

New Twitter Gets New Search - ReadWriteCloud Parsing Twitter Usernames, Hashtags and URLs with JavaScript Updated 10/05/2011 As part of an AIR project that I have been working on with my good friend Rob, we came across the need to parse a number of URLs within the text of a Twitter post. This may not sound too easy at first, but thanks to the prototype property available on JavaScript objects, our task was a relatively simple one. The prototype object of JavaScript is a pre-built object that simplifies the process of adding custom properties or methods to all instances of an object. You simply need to specify String.prototype before your method definition. e.g String.prototype.trim = function() { return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,"");} With this in mind, we can add methods to our String class, at runtime, that will allow us to manipulate the text string that is passed back in a Twitter JSON packet. The Goal To auto-magically parse different types of links within a text string. Demo The demonstration simply takes a test string and outputs it to the screen using JavaScript. See the demo in action.

La grande qualité de ce support est d’indiquer des données avec mention en légende des sources (études, enquêtes, rapports, statistiques…) que ce soit le CREDOC, TNS-SOFRES, LEtudiant.fr, Ipsos… Des sources variées souvent complémentaires mentionnées avec les dates de publications de ces mêmes données. La présentation les pratiques numériques médiatiques des jeunes offre par ailleurs une vision originale avec d’une part le point de vue des enfants/adolescents et d’autre part celles des parents sans oublier le prisme des professionnels.
