Isn't this just a link to the om.nimp.org site? That's a joke site that's been around for a few years now I think. Popular with 4chan trolls - it's a hoax redirect like rickroll or goatse. Someone would say, "check out this site for the proof: obamafakedbirthcertificate.om.nimp.org", etc etc.

"A site created by the GNAA, which opens windows of 6 shock sites that fly around so you cannot close them. It also plays really loud sounds of a guy saying "HEY EVERYBODY IM LOOKING AT GAY PORNO", a few minutes after, sounds become more loud and screams and a Jews.WMV (which is gay porn video) windows open really quickly, they may crash your computer if too many of them opens."

Good lord. Thanks for the heads-up and the clarification.

same as false rumors on twitter, everyone retweets without even following the link, assuming the research has already been done by the OP, or retweeter.

atleast with facebook you can see the span of who was gullible enough to join. Is there a way to map retweets to see the scope of a false link/post?

btw facebook groups are a joke. period. seriously, most are just a punchline.

I can't access twitter at work, but I'm guessing yes, since retweets are now a first-class function on twitter.
