I can’t be the only one that is getting sick of these.. Now Facebook & Google are the worst. My favorite is when FB asks me to go through 2-3 of these before it accepts my link, and then half the time ends up having an AJAX error and not posting it anyhow.
I miss the days of webcrawler when the whole internet was spam, but at least we didn’t have to be challenged before clicking submit.

Twitter Spam, Annoying.
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:
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.
