Your Twitter password !!! Blogcamp Mumbai !

Hi


I just came back from BlogcampMumbai. It was really cool, Learn few stuffs, and attended few session. I may write here after few days about it !

Ok so now, i am just browsing blogs of few folks who were there at Blogcamp ! one was Hardik Shah ! I just open his blog http://hardiks.blogspot.com And Wow !!! I am being asked for my Twitter Password in popup !!!







What do you think, Should i enter my password ???

How can i trust the userid and password is being sent to twitter and not to hardik's site ?

Share your thoughts !!! Any Learning ?

I think I've figured it out. Hardik has a private profile, but still uses a blog badge. Now the tweets of someone who has a private profile should only be visible to those who he has explicitly allowed. If you're not signed in, the script won't know if you're one of those who's been allowed or not, which is why you see the sign in popup.

If you feel uncomfortable putting in your password there, you could just sign into your twitter account using the regular web interface at www.twitter.com and then refreshing Hardik's blog. That way the twitter cookie will be available on your browser and you'll see his tweets on that blog badge without getting the popup (assuming of course that you've been allowed to view his tweets)
