What in the world is msplinks?
Well I did some research and found that it is a technique used by myspace to stop spammers.
When they find a spammer or phisher, they put a stop on the address at msplinks, and since all the links on myspace go through msplinks, anybody that clicks on that link will be redirected.
This sounds like a good thing right?
News Corp is a "Global vertically integrated media company", and is also the current owner of myspace.
To me this sounds like a perfect opportunity to get stats on the most popular websites, which might be beneficial to a news company.
Plus, I think I should be able to decide what websites I view.
Thats why I wrote this firefox plugin.
This plugin will convert all msplinks back into the original link.
Download
Please install and spread the word.

Sounds like a great isea... but before I spread the word, you need to post a link that works... seems to be dead :-)
i meant "idea" dhop!
the link works, but my server is being slow. :(
It's still a dead link! ;o)
Ok, fixed. Sorry about that.
You will need to download the plugin then drag it to an open firefox window.
Thanks!
