More and more people are using Twitter, and some of them are people you don't want your children anywhere near.

Twitter allows users to send out short messages about their lives.

It allows them to grant access to followers who will read those postings.

It is the typically unknown followers who are sending the inappropriate, sometime pornographic links.

Clicking on the links can also take Twitter users to websites that are loaded with spyware that will mine computers for financial information or give hackers access to all e-mail contacts.

Twitter users can make their profiles private.
