Warning: This is a spoof, spam, or malware site
Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006
According to the Compete.com Toolbar, this site (wanderingstan.com) is a pretty dangerous place to hang out.
None of their reasons make any sense. No site history? I’ve been around 5 years. Little member activity? So only popular sites are safe? Geotrust has deemed me to be a spoof spam or malware site? WTF?
A little surfing reveals that quite a few of my favorite sites are also dangerous: ColoradoStartups.com and fabianstelzer.com for starters.
I guess this is the problem of trying to do trust by algorithms. It doesn’t scale. Sorry, Compete.com, but your Trust is broken.
