Does Forbes "Influential Twitterer" List Fuel Spam?

Study Forbes' Most Influential Twitterers but think before signing up -- these huge "Follower" lists may attract back-door “direct mail” advertisers.

Me? I clicked “follow” on several. Almost immediately, Twitter emailed – "new followers" for me.

That felt good for the same 3.4 seconds it takes to figure why you got the jewelry "party" invite.

What now?



#1 -- “Block” rogue Followers, an easy Twitter tool.


# 2 -- “Follow” sparingly. Know the best Re-tweets. Lurk via twitter.com.

Real solution:

Curtail Ads ... Or Catch next Rave. This one’s getting noisy
