From the code:

  status = 'I browsed twitter insecurely on a public network and all I got was this lousy tweet. http://jonty.co.uk/idiocy-what'

View on HN

Barely in use so far:

https://twitter.com/search?q=I+browsed+twitter+insecurely+on...

Unfortunately, the link it includes doesn't contain the part mentioning this capability is nothing new, merely that there's a new tool for it: http://jonty.co.uk/idiocy-what

If the creator is browsing through these: include that part, or people will associate the danger with the new tool, and nothing else.

Good point! If you have any other comments I'd love to hear them.

Let me know if you think I should make any other edits: http://jonty.co.uk/idiocy-what

I think I'd swap the first and second paragraphs. That way, it makes more sense after "What happened?!", and reassures people ASAP so they won't lose interest / be confused before they find out what happened.
