More MySpace Bulletin Reposting
I’ve been thinking again about reposting MySpace bulletins and, in particular, the self counting bulletin (which I’ll use as the basis for this article). When I came across the self counting bulletin I had to click on a link within the bulletin in order to repost it, I then had to click on the confirmation link in MySpace to say that yes I did want to post the bulletin.
The link in the bulletin sent my browser to another site that posted a fake bulletin form back to MySpace for me to confirm posting. What I have been thinking is, would it be possible for the off site page to load the MySpace confirmation page into a frame and use javascript to click the confirmation link? I haven’t had a chance to look into this yet so I have no idea if this is possible or not, but it sure would be neat if you could.
not possible
oh and there is an update, http://htu.ath.cx/myspace/update/post.php
Thats a shame about the auto-reposting, that I suspected that it might not have been possible.
Its nice to see that the original has been updated with an image and that it also uses a db rather than a flat file.
Interesting that the inclusion of the image came after my blog post, might have been nice to have had a nod if it was my idea that prompted the creator.
wats up
