Photoshop: Stock Images in Collages

BEST TUTORIALS? I was following a reader's lead last night and it took me to Smashing's "Best Photoshop Tutorials" page. Upon surfing around in that site, it occurred to me that something wasn't quite right. I run Sniffer on my Mac to alert me when a web site attempts a breach or other covert activity, and found stalker links employed attempting to open ports and obtain information. Of course, this doesn't work on a Mac beyond local IP and provider information.

I began to think about what sites are recommending other sites, and how they are mysteriously connected. I see many sites recommending other sites that recommend back -- even if the content doesn't merit recommendations -- or if they're both promoting the same revenue streams. Some of these are hugely popular getting tweeted and re-tweeted over and over again. One popular Photoshop Twitter person (I think the proper term is "TWIT") tweets certain sites and pages over and over and over on a seemingly pre-defined schedule, making me wonder about the validity of the tweets.
