Spotting Twitter Spammers: Part Two

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?

Twitter: Spotting Spammers
