Who would’ve thought this topic would need to be revisited – but I came across some pretty cleverly disguised Twitter spammers that recently started following me. Since their method was different than I showed in my last video on Spotting Twitter Spammers, I thought I do a part two.
In this video, I discuss my 3 Point Twitter Following Criteria. You can read my article to find out more details about that, even though I do discuss it some in the video.
Please share your comments below:
- Do you have a following criteria to help weed out spammers?
- Do you find spammers in your tweetstream?
- Do you think spam is going to be a growing problem on Twitter – if so, what would you suggest be done to control it?
P.S. Do you find you'd rather let someone else handle your web site maintenance tasks for you? Check out Your Web Tech Team Outsourcing Services : We Handle It for You.

Thank you!
Thank you for the tutorial!
I went directly to my twitter and checked and blocked 5 spammers I didn’t catch.
I had been doing two of the steps but I didn’t take the time to look at their web sites and I missed some of what you had taught on the other two steps.

Love your website by the way.
There is a place at Twitter url: http://twitter.com/spam and you can then message them with the url of any suspected spammer.
I agree with your other points on if anyone might be a possible spammer.
