Back then, I also felt bad about unfollowing – sort of like killing a contact on Facebook. Especially the ones who sent a couple of DM’s looking like they were normal and actually trying to be communicative. However, I quickly got over it!

Another issue – people who Tweet about a hundred times a day. As it is I have a hard time keeping up, so having a flood constantly coming in is just too much for me! I unfollowed some big name bloggers who did have interesting things but also loads of uninteresting ‘flushed twice cuz i’m nice’ sorts of tweets …

The porn spammers have gotten more creative lately, too. Instead of just following a million people and dropping a link, they follow a couple hundred per fake girl’s account, and now if you visit their feed you’ll see a whole bunch of tweets designed to make the girl look real and a little bit geeky. (This week, they’re all about the Harry Potter movie and Comic-Con.) But if you look closer, you’ll see by the timestamps on the tweets they’re spammed in all at once, along with an interspersed link to a porn affiliate site. Very clever, but not quite clever enough… I wonder what they’ll try next?
