It's hard to keep your name clean nowadays, almost everybody can make an account with your name in it and destroy your image.

To stop twittertrain from autotweeting, go to settings/connections then revoke access for twittertrain. Change your password. Delete all twittertrain cookies.

Even the smart people are getting fooled. Here's a tweet to @Tina_Fey from one of Twitter's investors (a very smart dude): http://twitter.com/bijan/statuses/2088118933

Some people are just dumb.

The @Stevebuscemi account is a fake too!

The difficult thing about this is the marketing messages come from people that you aren't following.

Vanessa, thanks for stopping by and sharing your perspective on trending topic spam. Hopefully Twitter will get a handle on this soon because the spam is really threatening a very useful feature.

Thank you for an excellent explanation of trending topic spam. I experienced it today (and first time paid attention to the problem). http://interactivesnack.wordpress.com/2009/06/1... Yes, I also noticed that I was deleting more spam followers recently than before even if my activity on Twitter has not changed.

Thank you!
Vanessa

This is most disturbing
Twitter is enough to handle with its various idiosyncrasies
But to think I'll get unsolicited Tweets
Is unacceptable
No matter what it is called!

I'll get the tar, you supply the feathers?

Maybe we need Twitter goons
To drive by their house, also.
If that doesn't work
Should we tar and feather them also?

Re: Social Mediasphere: The Gaming Of Twitter Exposed

stoptwitterspam — Sat, 16 May 2009 00:54:11 -0000

Valid points Ray. I think some of this has to do with this being originally recorded as a live show and probably not much editing done before the show was posted as an archive.

I'm about 15 minutes through this and hoping that it will turn into something useful. Can Mr. Turner read his transcripts and identify how much repetition there is in his material? He could effectively say as much in probably 1/4 the time and leave room for his guests rather than have them hanging for minutes at a time while he talks.

I appreciate the aim of the limitations but I think it is the wrong approach for reasons given on my web page - see the link added here. Arthur Chappell http://arthurchappell.me.uk/twitter.limitations...

At this point, every person that signs up to follow me is dropped with 24 hours. IT's like an autodelete. WTF? How about I decide who is a spammer and not Twitter? How do they know who I want following me?

Re: Bye-Bye Fail Whale, Hello Suspended Owl

I finally gave into the Twitter hype, signed on for the first time, and mybrand new account was suspended, and I can't even get a good reason why.(tech support never responds to emails) Worse... I had just invited my entire contact list to join me there, most of whom didn't even have Twitter accounts, and now they get this Owl page instead...ouch. Nothing like being accused of criminal activity before doing anything. Twitter sucks, imho.

This will crush the very heart of the collaborative web! No, not really, but it sure is annoying. :)

I have a feeling that Twitter is going to be offering some kind of a commercial plan in the near future that will allow businesses / powers users to exceed the 2000 following limit - maybe bundled together with other features such as Track, analytics, etc.
