Is Twitter Safe To Use?

by GaryP

Today I was registering with Twitter and a screen came up asking for my email address AND email password. Apparently they wanted to access my email address book so that they could find out if my friends are on Twitter.

I remember article on here abot the Reunion.com email scam and decided to not register on Twitter before I got this questioned answered.

I Don't Have a Twitter

All my friends say, "Twitter is so awesome!!" or "Why don't you have a Twitter?!" or "You should get a Twitter!"

Twitter is not safe because people give up too much information about themselves.

i've had no problems with Twitter

I'm just careful how I use it. "What are you doing" doesnt have to be answered every waking minute of the day. I just use my best judgement using Twitter. I don't Tweet everything I do.

It should be ok

There's many internet experts on Twitter so I'm sure its safe - just dont use the feature to find friends and skip
