You all have really good points. Like Shanda & cool dad, I really dont have many followers. Maybe if I were ‘cooler’ it would be a problem for me. I think it’s just annoying in general that it’s another area we have to battle for spam, like the blogs. But there are some people that need the reach Twitter extends to them by having a ton of followers, like musicians & artists. And those folks are not following everyone who follows them anyway. I guess we just have to be smart about who we follow & allow to follow us.

I’m finding that Twitter spammers seem to be following an account that I don’t use that much (by accident rather than by choice since I forgot the password).

I see it as a nuisance rather than a problem – for now. If it becomes as popular as spam sent via email, I’m not sure just how annoyed it will make me, but I hope that they’ll have already figured out a solution by then.

I accept most who follow me. I’ve only had one spam and just blocked it. I am not at all a popular tweeter, so it isn’t a problem for me right now.

I’m not savvy enough to figure out Twerpscan, but I do check out everyone who asks me to follow. I don’t accept many.

I block all the spammers that follow me. Maybe if I was super-popular and had tons of spammers, it would be a problem, but now it’s just a slight nuisance.

Yes I too heard about this over the past week about Facebook. It’s the applications that ask if it is okay for them to access your information. These application are third party concerns facebook has nothing to do with them. They allow any programmer to use their API developing software.

One thing I can say let’s not forget we are on the web and nothing is private nothing. Everything can be traced back everything. It behooves all to watch what they are putting on the web peoples livelihoods can and have been damaged because of this type of thing. Anonymity is not on the net and that is for sure!
