Why do we have Twitter worms? Because there are suckers out there who willingly give away their Twitter credentials for the promise of thousands of followers. Remember, the number of followers you have is irrelevant if they don’t really care to follow you. It’s quality, not quantity that matters.

In general, always exercise caution when deciding to click a link. Sometimes it’s better to just say no.

This week’s Sunday Funny is from the Truth-is-Stranger-Than-Fiction category. Kogi BBQ in LA may not be the only one, but it is different. They combine Korean and Mexican food in a taco truck that Twitters their followers the location of their next taco fix.

If that whets your appetite for more, you can check out Kogi BBQ on the web, or follow KogiBBQ on Twitter.

Tip o’ the hat to Current.TV for the video.
