Twitter is suffering, and the scammers don’t help

Posted on July 22, 2008 by

Are Spammers killing Twitter? Despite constant upgrading, Twitter is more often down than up.

Spammers like this one don’t help – “she” was following over 1000 people when she started following me.

“She” has just one entry. It links to a scam website that sells the concept of Water as a power source for your car. Numpties.

None of this is new of course, but it is sad nonetheless to see a great company like Twitter get hurt by unscrupulous idiots like these.
