Another member on here brought this to my attention. For the last day or so I've been getting a ton of spam like comments on my site's myspace account. At first I thought it was just spam from phished user accounts, but it seems like it's some sort of application by rockyou that is causing it.
The links appear in comments and bulletins and look something like this,
"Are you like me? Take my "Just for fun!" Quiz to find out!"
it directly takes you to small quiz, http://www.rockyou.com/likeness/quiz.php?q=1 (whitelisted url).
If a user decides to take the quiz, and share it... then everyone on their friend's list get's the above mentioned link in their comment section and bulletins :/ Imagine, if your other friends click the link and decide to do the quiz and share it...
I would kill to have access to develop with a feature like this, since if used responsible it could real help your site traffic explode, but uhh, this new type of "legal," spam is just as annoying as those buy marijuana seeds ads.
