andrewmccall.com: Twitter Spam, is it really an issue?

  • Jeremy Tanner · 11 months ago
    The idea is that spam is useless email. Twitter emails you when someone follows you. If they unfollow before you even read that email, that email is useless to you. It gets irritating at 10 or 25 of them daily and gets worse as they build.

    "I’m doing my best to follow people interesting and working in similar fields, to me some level of engagement with a hundred followers would be better than shouting at ten thousand. "

    Good on you.

    I would add to Jeremy's comment: I don't want to see the mass emails going out over and over to new users. If this becomes commonplace, the affiliate marketers will take over, and then it will suck for everyone.

    Great post.
