Stop Twitter Spam

ProBlogger pulled an April Fools stunt today with the announcement of PayPerTweet. Many people on Twitter were fooled by this and complained about how this will increase the spam levels on Twitter. Even some prominent bloggers were fooled by this prank. Here are some comments spotted on Twitter today…

Great, just what we need – twitterspam! PayPerTweet will only be used by lazy people/companies with nothing worthwhile to say

And some people are thinking that it’s just a matter of time before someone launches something like this as a real service. We’ll be keeping our eyes open…

…PayPerTweet is actually believable in this day and age. Countdown until it is released as a real ( non-april fools service )?
