Errata Security launches a free, experimental service for detecting Twitter spam and threats. TwiGUARD lets Twitter users check if a follower is a spammer or if a link embedded in a tweet is malicious. The site, which is still under development, uses a reputation-based algorithm to see if a tweet’s link is infected. It also tracks the Twitter threat level, which will be adjusted according to active attacks on the service. Errata CEO: “This is useful for a very small part of what we want for Twitter security””]
