According to security experts, social networking sites, rather than email, are now the most favored platform for spammers to peddle their unsolicited links, as reported by Bloomberg.

This is partially due to the fact that email spam filters have become so effective that tens of billions of spam messages are now being diverted to social media sites instead, according to Dan Olds of Gabriel Consulting Group.

Mark Risher, chief executive officer of anti-spam software provider Impermium, said, "Social spam can be a lot more effective than e-mail spam. We see a lot of it, and we see it increasing. The bad guys are taking to this with great abandon."

According to Risher, as many as 40% of the accounts on social networking sites are actually owned as spammers, and approximately 8% of all messages sent via those sites are spam. This is approximately twice the volume of spam messages sent just six months ago.

Facebook's landmark initial public offering opened strongly - but belatedly - then fluttered back down to its IPO price, as other social media stocks sank as well.

Facebook opened the day strongly, although problems with the NASDAQ exchange delayed the first trade until about 11:30 a.m. EDT or so. Facebook's shares promptly climbed to over $42, then sank to just a penny over the opening price of $38. Facebook's stock then tumbled at the end of the day to close at $38.23, a bare 0.61 percent increase over the opening price.

Zynga, whose social games power about 10 percent of Facebook's revenue, also saw its share price decline from an $8.47 opening price to $7.12, down 13.91 percent. Zynga's stock peaked in early March at $14.69. LinkedIn opened at $104.95, peaked around the time that Facebook's stock began trading, then also slipped under $100 to close at $99.11, down 5.56 percent. Pandora Media sank 7.41 percent to close at $9.74.

In all, the NASDAQ closed down 1.24 percent.

OH MY GOD! 

A Michigan teenager found an unexpected item on his Arby's sandwich: a human finger.

Ryan Hart, 14, was eating a roast beef sandwich when he bit into a piece he described as particularly rubbery. He spit out the item, which turned out to be a part of a finger measuring about one-inch long and a quarter-inch thick, the Jackson Citizen Patriot reports.

The incident occurred at the Arby's restaurant on N. West Avenue in Jackson, Mich., on May 11, just after Hart and his mother had gone to the establishment for a quick bite after school.
