Twitter Spam, Annoying.

May 29th, 2009 jimcarter

One thing I miss about twitter POE (or as I call it – Pre Oprah Era) was the absense of people who just use it to spam their links.  There’s nothing worse than trying to be nice and offer the simple act of following someone back to see what they have to say and getting crap like this shortly after:

Twitter DM Spam

As a rule, I follow everyone back who follows me, I’m not an Internets rockstar and feel like I have to be an idiot to the world like, most, everyone, else, does. That is, of course, excluding Colbert.  However in my book, the minute i get these, that constitutes a swift reply mentioning how annoyed I am with people who abuse twitter for that, followed by a block. It’s not much but, hey, why not make a point.

With great popularity, comes great abuse online.

  • Exactly why I only follow people I know IRL, or have at least had some two-way contact with online. =]
  • I hear ya. Half the fun of twitter is finding new people to extend your social interests with, but maybe I just have too high of hopes for a site thats officially trendy now.
