Has Twitter tipped over the edge into a tin of spam!

First of all - thanks to Wadds tech blog for making me laugh-out-loud this morning with his stop twitter spam blog post - good post!

The highlight was this little round up: “Check out these fools: Braun Shavers, Invisus Direct and Wordframe. And my personal favourite Premature Ejaculation.” - Funny!

This reminded me of a post that I’d seen the day before The Epitome of Faux “Social Media Experts about so called social media experts that don’t have a scooby doo! (some good comments at the bottom of that post too).

We all know that Twitter is hugely popular at the moment, with what seems like 5 new applications coming out a day, and this has had a knock on effect and brought in the spammers by the bucket load. There is even a new blog called Stop Twitter Spam - thanks for the tip Wadds!

Unfortunately this is just going to get worse until every one moves onto the next big thing and then the whole process will start again!

“There are many who claim to do good PR differently and then there’s Liberate Media. I found a higher degree of contacts and enthusiasm and then something far more interesting. They listened, challenged and questioned with a focus and knowledge that I’ve never experienced before.”
