Stop Twitter Spam

Typical conversation about Twitter Spam…

fitz: I don’t get the Twitter Spam issue… I mean if someone is spam then don’t follow them back. Problem solved, right? Am I missing something?

[protected]: @fitz well one issue is the wasted time looking at the spam profile. Plus I don’t like them following me so I have to block them.

[protected]: @fitz more broadly it makes twitter a less hospitable climate for newbies to gain traction if folks are more wary of adding someone

thattalldude: @fitz It’s more of an issue for us that receive email updates when someone follows us
