If..Else Log

Samy is my hero? A great story about the how a MySpace exploit was created and used to make Samy the most popular guy on MySpace.

10/04, 12:34 pm: You have 73 friends.
I decided to release my little popularity program. I'm going to be famous…among my friends.

1 hour later, 9:30 am: You have 74 friends and 480 friend requests.
Oh wait, it's exponential, isn't it. Shit.

5 hours later, 6:20 pm: I timidly go to my profile to view the friend requests. 2,503 friends. 917,084 friend requests. A few minutes later, I refresh. 1,005,831.

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.
