What Would You Call Twitter Spam?

What Would You Call Twitter Spam

I've gone on enough about Twitter. I dig it. 'Nuff said at this juncture. But I got a couple of follow notifications the other day that surprised me.

Anyway, I followed back, because, well, they're local boys and such. I assumed they'd done a geographic search for Lexingtonians and/or Kentuckians on Twitter and used it as a marketing hook, which worked, at least for me.

I don't know how common that is, or if Californians and Brits and New Yorkers are getting similar "look at me" notifications via Twitter, but it seems inevitable that it will become more popular as more people adopt the platform. When it does, we can expect a healthy dose of email notifications that we're being followed by Viagra, and it may be difficult for our filters to really combat emails we signed up for via Twitter.

Banish the thought. Is this Twitter's Achilles Heel?
