I go through periods when I tweet regularly and then I do nothing for a week.
For such an inactive and boring tweeter I was surprised to find that 15 followers had jumped on my bandwagon in the past few weeks.
As Jessica points out, it’s not easy to block spam followers, who appear to be peddling nothing more than links.
At least I have now disabled the email notification, which was starting to become a right pain.
“For a service this popular, better native blocking tools should be a no-brainer. Hopefully they will be before the spam really catches on,” Jessica writes.
Not being a big twit (is that the correct term?), I can’t complain as much as some others who must be really feeling the nuisance value of this, but I agree the management system should be improved.
