Twitter Spam…
// May 20th, 2009 // Technology
I’m probably a bit behind the times here, but it seems as if spam on Twitter is becoming quite a big problem. I was looking through the trending topics’ tweets and found a few tweets with links that appeared genuine – using redirection services such as bit.ly. To my surprise, when I clicked on them, I was redirected to some spammy sites selling me pyramid schemes.
Other than the manual process of blocking accounts which post spam, what other measures can Twitter do to prevent it? It is obviously is a rather big problem.
