Please stop caring. Its bad for your blood pressure.
Seriously, it's only Twitter. Conflict, famine, and poverty are bad for the world, but Twitter doesn't matter.
- apphacker 16y agoI disagree with the "it's only Twitter" because Twitter is becoming increasingly important to me, but yeah, not worth getting angry about. At least that's what I tell myself.
- jrockway 16y agoDestroying communities for your own personal gain is a problem that extends much beyond Twitter.
- akadruid 16y agoTwitter is not a community. Twitter is a tool. A community can use Twitter, but I think describing spamming Twitter as destroying a community is disingenuous. The success of email, usenet and blogs/microblogs etc depend on their openness and easy access to all. Which also means people can and will spam them. So spam on twitter should be seen as a natural and nessecary side-effect, not the end of twitter. Berating the spammers will only increase your blood pressure - the spammers, tweeters and Twitter itself will continue as always.
