Twitter Spam!
Twitter started off as a niche geek community, but over time it drew the attention of John Q. Public. Now, Twitter is quickly becoming a virtual spam hole. I knew it was headed south when I started seeing porn, drug, loan, and marketing spam.
Here is a tip. Do not follow others just because they follow you! Read, "The spammers will follow as many people as possible to build up their marketing lists." Plain and simple! Before you rush to follow someone, check out their profile. Use common sense people.
Spam will never go away, but you can limit how it affects you by limiting spammers ability to communicate. Twitter should update their terms of use to include permanent bans for any and all unsolicited spam. Just a thought.
