I got a Gtalk instant messge saying:

Hey check out this video! http://tinyurl.com/BLAHBLAH (not linking it).

The link goes to a website that looks like this, and I thought that was very fishy (or phishing I should say!).

Viddyho Phishing for Gmail Passwords

@veronica only confirmed that it was indeed a phishing scam. So please DO NOT enter in your GMail login or password.

If this new website wanted to connect via google, why not try the Google FriendConnect widget instead?
