Archive for the ‘Click My Junk Twitterer’ Category

If you are an avid Twitter user, undoubtedly you’ve been pummeled by those unknowing Twitter users, or those knowing Twitter users who “think” they are being cool, who utilize Automatic Direct Message services to deliver you a message as soon as you follow the person. 95% of these direct messages generally are a message to “click my junk” whether its to download a “free” whitepaper, buy whatever crap they are selling, join them on Facebook or MySpace or just visit their blog, we all just know this as Twitter spam. What 95% of us do when we get Auto DM’s like that is unfollow that Twitter Follower.

However, Jason Falls has some other great insight I felt the need to share.

For those browsing without pictures on his insight reads: “I’ve decided people with auto-responder DM’s are the social media equivalent of the grade school kid with head lice. Smile, but steer clear.”

File this under “Great Twitter Insight!”

The next up in our wonderful line up of “Dear Twitter Follower” fun comes to us from half way around the world! A Twitter user from Philippines shared one of her recent followers with us here at Dear Twitter Follower. From the looks of it, we can certainly understand why this account won’t be followed.

This is probably one of the more common types of Twitter spammers. These spammers create accounts, with just 1 Tweet in the hopes that some unsuspecting new Twitterer, or someone desperate enough for more followers will, as its been dubbed, “Click My Junk” by clicking through to a link provided in just that one tweet. In this case the 1 Tweet Click My Junk Offender is offering Twitter users to acquire over 19,000 new followers in just 30 days! I don’t know about you, but it really sounds like one of those loud obnoxious car sales me screaming at me, how about you?

This one gets tossed into the Click My Junk & Spammer pile.

Dear Twitter Follower, Please have more than one tweet before you follow me and don’t let that tweet be a screaming car salesman-like tweet!
