What is being called spam here is not spam, spam is email, which Twitter people can do right from the Twitter system. I am not a Twitter member and I am receiving emails from Twitter users wanting me to join. I do not know how these Twitter people get my email, but I can be sure why they want me to join. They want to sell me something. Twitter has no way to report spam or UCE. If you report one of these emails to SpamCop it reports that Twitter will not accept the reports (go figure, they want you to join as well).

There should be someone that comes up with the new defacto term for this Twitter spam as is described here... maybe UTT for unwated Twitter Tweep?

Spam is an issue on Twitter and I for one am glad the Twitter handbook addressed it. Of course, I'll be much happier if/when Twitter adds a "report this" link after tweets. Then, perhaps, overtime the offending twit spammers can get warned or removed.

Thanks for subscribing Joe. I'm not sure if it will fix the older posts but the author/creator field should be more personalized going forward.

In your RSS feed, you should change the author/creator field from "admin" to your name or "Stop Twitter Spam". I've subscribed to your RSS feed, but your articles show up in my feed list as being by "admin" instead of something more appropriate.
