Web 2.0 Worm Pandemic Threatens Internet

Today The Register’s Andrew Orlowski gleefully reported the existence of the first “Web 2.0 worm”. Wrote our man in San Francisco: “It’s been a rough weekend for Tomorrow’s People. A JavaScript exploit that has been called the first “Web 2.0 worm” knocked out MySpace.com – and the $500m-valued website, recently acquired by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp – was still struggling to get back on its feet two days later.”

What I want to know is – what happens if Romanian birds eat the Web 2.0 worms?

A predictable disaster. ®
