Twitter spam to get the treatment it deserves
It looks like the Twitter spam problem might be being taken seriously soon, with this article on News.com outlining Twitter’s intention to start shutting down spam-producing accounts.
Even with the problems of false-positives being accidentally shutdown, this is definitely the way to go. By making it frustrating for spammers to use the service, hopefully they’ll turn elsewhere. It shouldn’t be too hard to spot the spammers either, just look for the unbalanced ‘following’/'followers’ ratio and the trail of ‘blocks’ and that should point you in the right direction.
Here’s hoping for a cleaner Twitter!
