Someone on my FB friends list noticed a lot of twitter problems. Here's a
snip from www.slashdot.org (a site for techies) about it:

*"We're seeing lots of re-tweets on Twitter.com right now, all
containing a fragment
of JavaScript <http://mashable.com/2010/09/21/twitter-mouseover-bug/>, which
re-tweets itself when moused-over on the Twitter web interface. This could
easily be muted into a more sinister attack, so it is recommended that you
use a third party client application, or refrain from social media
altogether until the problem is resolved."*

Just FYI
