Dotcomslashblog: Good Spam Bad Spam

  • Joe Drinker · 1 year ago
    So, on Twitter, you generally follow everyone who follows you? I have nowhere near the number of followers that you do, but even at my meager fifty-and-change, I wouldn't be able to get anything else done with my day.

    Maybe that's more a testament to my lack of multitasking ability or my OCD-esque tendencies, but still.

    I tend to only follow people if they have a rough one-to-one follow to following rate, or people who seem to have interesting tweets if I wander across them in the time line. Even then I've ended up following some strange people, and certainly more people than necessary who don't tweet in English.

    Which brings me to another problem: I can't seem to break up with them, either.

    Not even the spammers and robots.

    Yeah, I also don't tend to follow the hordes of Japanese who add me. Seems like there's no point in that. But yeah, generally I follow everyone back, except for uninteresting spammers or bots. Cools spammers or bots I do add. You never know, right?

    What is it with that Twitter app?
    I just don't get it,
    I still don't get it.

    Hey, I'm back. ;)

    I don't get it either, Volkher. :-S

    Nils, what's that "zemifeed" icon you insert the end of your posts?

    Hey Volkher, I'd been seeing you around but hadn't had the chance to respond yet. You okay? Good to have you back though.

    Well, Twitter, as a service, is just teh awesum. The apps you can get for it, AIR apps mostly, are fun to use. You should really try and get back into it.

    Smaran, as far as Zemified is concerned, it's a little semantic web addon for FF. As soon as I get hosted (soon I hope) I'm switching to the Calais plugin for WP though.
