Blocky (@blocky_bot, http://blocky.elliottkember.com) is a crowdsourcing | |
solution for Twitter spam. Blocky does not define what a "spammer" is, | |
so let's discuss. | |
What makes you a Twitter spammer? | |
- You follow me just to make me follow you. | |
There's a good chance this applies when you start following me even though | |
you already are following 500+ people. | |
- You repeatedly tweet links to your own website(s)/service(s)/... whilst | |
rarely tweeting anything personal. | |
Of course a sane ratio will be highly subjective. To me maybe tweeting your | |
ads more often than 1% makes you a spammer. | |
- You're on Twitter for the sole reason that someone told you there's "social | |
marketing". | |
This definitely applies to anyone who "outsources" tweeting to someone | |
else/a service (looking at politicians). It probably also applies to SEO | |
people and other folks wanting to artificially raise attention or traffic. |
