This is a step-by-step guide by “Samy”, the guy who created a MySpace Javascript worm that quickly made him the most popular guy around. This probably isn’t going to mean much to most people, but it’s pretty interesting how he got around all these hurdles. Basically, he created a worm so that anyone who viewed his profile would add him as a friend (and hero) without knowing it. Than anyone who viewed that person’s profile would add him as a friend (and hero) as well. The original story goes into more detail.
It’s official. I’m popular.
I have hit 1,000,000+ users. In less than 20 hours, I’ve hit over 1/35th of all myspace users.
As someone who’s worked with this stuff before, it’s pretty incredible how he accomplished it.
