How do I know? Because more than half of my “___ is following you” emails are now spam. Yes, Twitter is now high-profile enough that people will use it to send you junk!

From the last day:

Twitter Spam

Gee, thanks. 

Twitter spam

Sigh. 

And more Twitter Spam

These are the things that make people become less interested in using social media. First: these are not people. These are organizations, and their “conversation” is mostly advertising.

Not only are they missing the point of social media, as they become more common, social media become less functional for real users. 

Inevitable, but annoying.
