Why I’m grateful for spammers →
Can you imagine if there was nothing but pure solid content and truth spewing from every email, blog post, and twitter?! We’d all be exceptional and we’d all be terrible at the same time. So, today I’m grateful for Mr. and Mrs. Spammer.

As a long time ex-smoker and one of the not-so-enamored with twitter crowd, I really hope this works for a lot of folks. I quit “cold turkey” after developing a relationship with the reality of my declining health and rising age. I’ve tried to use and enjoy twitter but find it only to be a unique combination of boring and annoying. I quit cigarettes back in “Web 1.0”...

The Twitter enigma and the road to being uncool →
Is it a social network? Then you will probably agree there is spam on Twitter and that it is a problem. Are you there to converse with a select group of friends? Then you will think that having 10,000 followers makes no sense; but it does if you’re using Twitter for purely commercial purposes.
It's not twitterspam →
But twitspam uses actual data and a little code to serve up the choicest (and top) twitter spammers. Good stuff!

topherchris: If you’re following more than 2,000 people on Twitter and only 100 are following you, that pretty much means that I’m not going to follow you. Additional points removed if your website solely exists to sell shit. Are “pityfollows” the only reason people keep trying it? That’s all I can come up with. Pityfollow Following someone on Twitter or another web2.0 site only because...

great cartoon (summary) hilker: somehow the techsterati have made ditching last month’s hottest killer app as cool as getting the beta invite. we brag about how awesome it is to have the world’s information at our fingertips but whine when we’re overcome by its volume (even if we have control over its flow!). cool has gone from “able to handle everything” to “declaring...

The Walrus Loves Twitterspam →
Well, not exactly, but in looking through the referrers on twitterspam.com’s big day today, I noticed this article links to twitterspam :-)
You should have been flattered! →
We’re not sure if we should be flattered or annoyed that http://twitterspam.com has set up a tumblog that is pulling in content from http://stoptwitterspam.com. You should be flattered to have links coming from the original “twitterspam” site, but I was actually a little annoyed to get a TOS warning from Tumblr today, so I may be am removing your feed from this site (sadly). This was...
Twitter: The Addiction →
JrzyShr Dev Guy: Okay… so the average Twitter user probably has a small number of followers, but is following a LOT of people. Including “famous” people. I say “famous” in quotes because these folks are “Internet famous”, not “famous famous”. Internet Famous folks are the people who are famous on the Internet (aka Scoble, Arrington,...
