Re: [Full-disclosure] SecurityFocus to partially shut down

[Chris <r0ck@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No doubt.  Twitter replacing FD is just absurd.  Sure.  Let's all move to a 3rd 
party service that: 

1) isn't profitable; 

2) is liable to do some crazy ass shit to start making money (i.e. get your FD 
twitters with ads in the future? charge to post security vulns to the FD 
twitter feed?); and 

3) falls over and dies under heavy load.  Heaven forbid if some famous movie 
star dies, we might not get FD twitters for weeks while Twitter struggles with 
the celebrity load.

Email works.  Email is almost universally accessible.  Stick with what works.
