Twitter Steps Up the Spammer Reporting with a New Action

Category: social media, tech opinion, toolsjmacofearth @ 4:10 pm

I have not been quite so aggressive with my Twitter spam management lately. But Twitter has added a new hammer in the wack-a-spammer tool box. Yesterday as I was deleting a few "teeth whitening" TweeSpammers I noticed an extra option under the pull-down menu.

Probably a lot of us were asking for this simple addition and it's finally come!

Here is the post from yesterday on Twitter's blog called "Help us nail spammers."

I still love TwitBlock but now you can actually make a difference when you block these clowns.

If Biz and Co. would just allow us to see more than 20 followers/followees per page we'd have a real spam deleting frenzy on our hands. As it is, a great feature that makes it easier to voice your annoyance with the people and businesses that are filling our Tweetdecks and Seesmic Desktops with junk.

So, go fourth and report the spammers for spamming.
