Social bookmarking site (lol) Mister Wong looks hacked just now, it wants to install MSXML 5.0, a typical hack deployed on many compromised websites. Quite amazing that a site which is "one of the leading social bookmarking services with portals in 6 languages and over 4 million visitors per month" can get severely hacked like this.

Don't bother going there, because aside from being hacked and not being updated for two days on the blog (and 4 million people to blog to) it's just, well, average. Check out del.icio.us instead 

UPDATE: I contacted this site and they were quick to respond that it wasn't a hack, they thought this was an "uncommon" problem in IE, claiming that this only happened on some machines. It happens on all of my IE7 machines, but not the Windows 2000 one with IE6 because it doesn't have popup warnings for MSXML. Still not fixed, and it isn't that difficult. Either way I found an interesting tool, www.websitegrader.com which can produce a report for SEO in exchange for your email address. It's a very interesting tool, check it out.
