Twitter-up to not get bad beats hard on spammers

Let's face it: ALL social network sooner or later becomes a target for spammers. It is a kind of sign of success (although Google also has + spam). People are fascinated by metrics irrelevant and meaningless numbers, and the more pathetic the life of the subject, the more he clings to these indicators of "success" online.

I myself can guarantee 30,000 users on Twitter and $ 4 will buy a beer bar in everything that is in Rio de Janeiro.

Twitter has become the preferred network for climbers of social media, people who want to become "famous" without effort. Hundreds of sites promoting tricks, scripts, bots and strategies to get followers. Just do not say what to do with them later.

This psychosis followers destroyed the usefulness of such Trending Topics. Before used to identify the subjects "hot" at the moment, minutes after a term TT is becoming overrun by messages bots, trying to capture traffic from people who click to KNOW what it is:

That's a shame, Twitter should take precautions, but why not take today?

Simple: A social network lives of their number of users. Twitter is going out on the road spammers, hunters followers, people who spend all day giving RT, haters that mobilize tens of thousands of users and generate traffic absurd, end with a great base of users but too small to interest advertisers.

Now Twitter has a hard and is entering the U.S. Justice against TweetAttacks sites, TweetAdder, TweetBuddy and against a loser named James Lucero, the justinlover.info and Garland E Harris of troption.com.

The goal is to stop spam, with the schemes of followers? No, of course not. Let's not be naive.

The aim is to show service to that market analysts do not begin to think that much of the base of 140 million users "active" Twitter are "active" as:

The reality is that social networks are not made to the user that interacts with quiet friends, is what makes for a lot of noise. The interaction "Automatic" between these users generate the critical mass that advertisers seek, for they know not differentiate between different messages 100 and 100 "Thurs endico follow me back."

A good example is the Facebook groups. You can automatically add users to groups, something that violates all rules of common sense, but merchandising makes sense. The News Apps that require you to sign an app to read and share a link are another example of abuse sanctioned by the social network.

Our only hope is that users and networks remain within reasonable limits, controlling as Facebook and Twitter make the level of spam, but we can not have the illusion that they will get rid of it. Unlike email spam, which is 100% harmful to all involved (except the spammers) spam social networking is part of the game, though not the part that everyone likes.
