Oh please, please let this be true.

There are very few rules on microblogging platform Twitter. But if you use it for unsolicited “tweets” about male enhancement products, watch out: Twitter has started to shut down accounts that it has flagged as “spam,” reported blogger Jesse Stay.

Looks like Carlo Zottman is feeling my pain. The difference, though, makes all the difference. See, Carlos actually did something about it. Check out his aptly named tool, Twitter Twerp Scan.

Are you kidding me? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by the appearance of spammers wherever so much as a modicum of community crops up, but nonetheless…I am. I know I shouldn’t waste my time being annoyed, disgusted and even a little offended, but nonetheless…I am.

This morning I woke up to six, yes six, notifications that I was being followed by spammers (and that was just this morning) on Twitter. Televisions, dog training, flowers and even stars. A freaking star?! Seriously? These guys can ruin anything for everyone. So off goes the notification of followers. That sucks.

On the other hand, the ED brokers haven’t tracked me down yet. Is it worth recognizing the silver lining or is it just a matter of time?
